You do realise Colin will now be more insufferable than ever, I shall not get a moment alone with you.

Let me mourn the loss of you.

Another beautiful independent woman lost to marriage. How tragic.

It seems her views have not yet been corrupted by her may siblings, excellent. It is Miss Abernathy, is it not?

That would be most delightful. She is in need of some new company.

All her siblings are happily married off or chasing after some desirable lady. She has never felt more alone.

It seems to be the only thing that consumes Benedict’s thoughts of late — how can one not of heard.

She has taken to the quiet end of the home in hopes her meddling mother does not find her.

Features plastered with a winning smile, balancing her book nearly upon her lap. “What is worrying you so?”

That depends, is he prepared to talk with her?

That is the purpose of her stares, she does have rather a talent of making those around her uncomfortable. A most splendid talent.

He does not. Instead she shall sit with him silence, her stare continuously on Benedict.

Please catch me up on everything I have possibly missed.

Quirking a brow with a pointed look. She doesn’t believe that nonsense for a second.

What has gotten him in such a sour mood?

What a marvellous morning to avoid promenading. You shall find Eloise alone with a book in hand, tucked away in a quiet little corner.

I am well, more importantly how are you?! So much time has pasted.

To be your own man, huh. May I learn of these teachings?
