Sweet And Twenty (1979)
“Martha outlined her plans for calling at St. Christopher’s Abbey, and neither Melanie nor Sara made any objection. If Mr. Fellows should find it odd that his next-door neighbors suddenly came to call after not doing so for twenty years, it was not thought worth a mention. Lillian did say that a country gentleman was not particularly likely to be home to greet callers on a busy weekday morning, but her aunt was a step ahead of her. She had sent over a note, in Lady Monteith’s name, expressing th...eir intention.
After dinner, Martha retired early and took Lillian upstairs with her to outline to her what she had discovered of Mr. Fellows, ending up with, “And I see you have discovered your cousins are fools, Lillian, but that is no reason you must make it obvious to Mr. Fellows. Pray keep your sharp tongue between your teeth, and don’t be clever or satirical.”
“Why Auntie, I am hurt! You never accused me of it before, only of trying to be. I wouldn’t do a thing to turn such a legible partie off from Cousin Sara.”MoreLess
