A Madness in Spring
“Oh, not really. In most things, she showed strong common sense and good humor – for instance, when she was dealing with her brother’s fears about her health. (As someone who had an older brother himself, he admired her restraint.) And she was generally a very happy, vivacious new member of their circle.
So it was just too bad that she had somehow abandoned all sense and thought that her brother Bertram was interested in Belinda Leonard.
This wasn’t a conclusion he came to lightly. No, h...e had spent the past few days observing the two of them very closely. And he’d had ample opportunity to do so – he made sure of it.
Luckily for Adam he did not have to go far for observation. Not only did Francesca and Belinda have the Hemshawe Fair and a Harvest Festival to plan, but now they had a party to help Miss Gage put together. Thus the three of them had become completely inseparable. As Belinda walked there daily for some reason (Sturridge Manor and Croftburr were not adjoining – one had to walk a bit of the main road of Hemshawe, but they were within a few easy miles of each other) and Francesca insisted on having her housekeeper help with the party’s organizational efforts, naturally everyone ended up at Sturridge Manor.MoreLess
