An Affair of the Heart (1977)
“They even found their chambers, and were in bed before the return of the Homberlys from their evening out. They did not, however, arise early after their libations and nocturnal ramblings. The sun was midway across the sky before they sat down to a steak and ale, which gave Mrs. Homberly (informed of their arrival by her servants) time to get Missie decked out in her best sprigged muslin gown and herself time to wonder and wonder again why he was come. He, of course, was not her beloved son, bu...t his guest. Missie might be only sixteen, but she was large for her age, and with the Marquis not a day over twenty-five, if that, there was no saying...
As soon as her son told her they were off to the Wanderleys, though, her hopes plunged. Not only had that wretch of a Wanda nabbed the squire’s son, now here was Ellie about to snap up this very eligible parti. At least that would be the last of the Wanderley girls to worry about. Thank God they had finally had a son, so that they might quit breeding those damned beautiful girls every few years.MoreLess
