The Lady Most Willing . . .
“. .
Chapter 11After luncheon Byron couldn’t stop thinking about the way Catriona Burns looked up at Bret, eyes shining, her love obvious. His own expectation of marriage did not include feelings of that nature. His father had taught him well: one’s wife should be a chaste woman of good breeding. Passion between a husband and wife was out of the question. The new Countess of Oakley, as his father had instructed him time out of mind, should be virtuous, well mannered, and above all, show resp...ect if not fawning submission to her husband. Respect and submission wasn’t what Catriona felt for Bret.Envy was an uncomfortable emotion. It felt like a dark, raging burn in his veins.Before he chose Opal to wed, he had danced with every maiden on the marriage market who fell into his purview—which left Scottish girls such as Marilla and Fiona to the side—and then he had made what he thought was a reasoned, intelligent decision. His thought process had been a bit embarrassing, in retrospect.MoreLess
