Drops of Gold
“Marion had overheard Stanley telling a fair-haired beauty, whom she’d come to understand was the younger sister of the bride-to-be, that everyone was so shocked that someone had actually agreed to marry his oldest brother that no one who knew the earl could do anything but engage in a weeks-long celebration.
Thus far Marion had managed to keep to the nursery wing throughout the inundation. She and Caroline were seldom at the Meadows. They would climb into the Farland carriage and make the ten-minute drive to Lampton Park. Layton likely would have forgone the carriage altogether except for Caroline’s obvious enjoyment of it all. She said more than once that she felt very grown-up being driven about.
Marion loved watching Caroline, loved her enthusiasm over such small, simple things. Seeing that excitement never failed to bring a smile to Marion’s face. Often during their carriage rides, she would look to Layton, wondering if he found his daughter’s elation as captivating as she did.
