“The idea was greeted enthusiastically, and after Mrs. Lillick told them the ideal spot was to be found not over an hour's drive away, instructions for the preparation of a picnic lunch were sent to the kitchen. They traveled in two carriages, with Mr. Benford-Smith, Lucy, Elizabeth, Mr. Latchley, and Mr. Martindale in the first. Havoc and Mrs. Willard both had decided to stay behind with the Lillicks. There was a moment when Elizabeth thought Nicholas would go in her carriage, but at the last m...inute he turned to answer a question from Mrs. Benford-Smith, and Mr. Latchley climbed in to take the last seat. It was nicely timed, she thought; Nicholas appeared to have ended up in the carriage with Amelia by accident. The day was perfect for a picnic.

Because they were driving in an open carriage, Mrs. Lillick had insisted they take along lap blankets, but it was far too lovely to use them.MoreLessRead More Read Less
