A Private Performance (2005)
“Interestingly, since the improvement in his prospects, the colonel was no longer invisible to young ladies of fortune. He called at Brougham Place, where he renewed his acquaintance with Miss Bingley. Caroline had come, with her sister, Mrs. Hurst, for a morning of music with their dear friend Georgiana.
Henry had never realised what a pleasant young woman Miss Bingley could be. He sat at her side while she played the pianoforte. Her feathers nodded elegantly when it was time for him to turn the page. As her fingers raced across the keys, she leant slightly towards him. He looked thoughtfully at her handsome profile as she leafed through the book in search of another song. Elizabeth very nearly laughed aloud.
Henry did not forget his cousin.
“Georgiana, will you play for us, pray?”
“If you like, Henry.”
Caroline declared that she would die of disappointment if her dearest friend did not play, and Georgiana took her place at the instrument. She played a plaintive little air. Miss Bingl...ey noted Henry’s fond look.MoreLess
