Perfecting Fiona
“She changed her dress several times and fussed with her hair, tried a little rouge and then wiped it off. She kept running to the window every time a carriage rattled over the cobbles outside.
By one in the afternoon, her rumbling stomach reminded her she had not eaten. She refused to go down to the morning room for breakfast but had it served on a tray in front of the window of her bedchamber. At last a carriage stopped outside. But the gentleman who descended was Lord Aubrey.
Fiona hoped the ...sisters would not forget their promise. But she half expected to be summoned to the drawing room to receive a proposal from the poet. It was with great relief that she saw Lord Aubrey leaving some ten minutes later. He did not look at all downcast. Fiona did not know the Tribbles had told him that there was every hope his suit might prosper if he was content to wait a little.
At two o’clock, she became weary of her long vigil, and was wondering whether to read a book or to go downstairs, where no doubt she would immediately be charged to start her sewing lessons, when she heard the sound once more of a carriage arriving in the street below.MoreLess
