Sherri Cobb South
“WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, The Taming of the Shrew Lord Waverly called for Lisette promptly at nine o’clock the following morning. She was fetchingly attired for her nuptials in a pink muslin morning dress fashioned for her by Lady Helen’s mantua-maker in Manchester, there having been no time to order a wedding gown from that lady’s more fashionable London modiste. Her ravaged curls were hidden—and her heart-shaped face charmingly framed—by a deep-brimmed bonnet trimmed with pink roses. She looked... absurdly young, and Waverly wondered anew at the vagaries of Fate in contriving such an ill-assorted union.
He did not voice these reflections to his bride, however, but handed her up into his curricle, climbed up beside her, and set the horses’ heads toward St. George’s, Hanover Square. They had gone some distance in silence when Lord Waverly, glancing at his bride and seeing naught but the brim of her bonnet covering her downcast face, asked, “Are you frightened, Lisette?”
