Loving Lucy
“She hoped the Carmichaels might come and see her, and despite their non appearance the next day, she still hoped they would come. She couldn’t decide what she would do - go back with them or stay here, but she rather thought she would prefer to go back to Red Lion Square and be married from there. It was ridiculous but she felt like a prisoner here. In her own house, with her family about her, she was kept close. But Lucy had decided on her course. She would try to make her mother see reason, and be resolute in her refusal to marry Sir Geoffrey Sanders. No one could force her to marry against her will. It was illegal now. If they insisted she would leave, even if it meant sneaking out of the house in the early hours. No – she would leave in her own coach, and take her belongings with her. She would show them.
Sir Geoffrey called just after noon. Lucy was up and dressed in a deliberately sober dark green gown, made high to the neck with a little ruffle of lace to lighten the effect a trifle.
