Lady Jenny's Christmas Portrait - Plot & Excerpts

Eve took a place beside Jenny on this observation, which leavened Jenny’s sense of desolation with a spike of resentment.
    “With all my family around me, how could I possibly be in want of companionship?”
    Eve watched their mutual siblings stepping through a minuet while their brother Valentine held forth at the piano. “The same way I can long to dance while the minuet plays all around me.”
    Marriage had settled Eve, and impending motherhood had only honed her already formidable instincts.
    “You’re admiring your husband, Lady Deene, even when you can’t dance with him.”
    “He’s promised me a waltz, though Valentine will probably find one to play at the speed of a dirge.” She fell silent for a moment as the dancers one-two-three’d around the space created by the music room and an adjoining parlor. “You would make a wonderful mother, Jenny.”
    The worst pain was not in the words Eve offered, but the combination of pleading and pity with which she offered them.
