Courtly Love
“The sun lavished its warmth upon the fields during the days, but the nights often brought refreshing showers that cleaned the air and brought a welcome relief to Serena. Accustomed to the many shade trees surrounding Broughton, Serena resented the openness of the land around the stone walls of Camden. Her only respite from the wilting heat came when she would take a horse from the stable, gamer up Alan and a light lunch, and ride a short distance to a spring-fed pond which was concealed from th...e road by dense undergrowth and an abundance of trees. If Serena found the heat unbearable, it was far worse to remain indoors. Beda—whom she avoided as much as possible— treated her with contempt; while Lydia and Mara had begun to avoid her. Undoubtedly Serena assumed, it was because of her own change in attitude toward Gyles. She shrugged it all off. As far as she was concerned, neither cost her any peace of mind. What did worry her was that Gyles continued to be impervious to her charms. Apparently he did not consider her attractive enough for his tastes, for the only time he sought her company was when she was with Alan.MoreLess
