Lumley @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } Chapter Sixteen David arranged for a picnic on the Friday before he was due to leave for Bridgethorpe Manor. Hannah was disappointed to learn she and Trey would be the only other people invited, but he’d insisted he needed time with Lady Joanna without all the interruptions a larger party provided. Hannah smiled knowingly. “Oh, I understand.” “Don’t read too much into this. I’m still not certain where I stand with her.” “Take a measure of advice from your little sister, then. Your picnic will be much more enjoyable if you sit with her.” Waving an arm in a pretense of hitting her, David fought not to laugh. He’d arranged for a meal to be prepared and the basket loaded into his curricle, along with some pillows, and a carpet to sit on. He made certain a nice bottle of wine and stemmed glasses were included. After handing Lady Joanna into the curricle, David drove to Richmond Park. Trey and Hannah rode in a second curricle, and their servants traveled in a cart with the supplies.
