The Rainbow Years
“His family’s reactions varied but none was a surprise to him. His father was genuinely pleased for her, his mother was thinking only of the extra housekeeping coming her way, Eva was as jealous as blazes and Harriet, as ever, was taking her cue from Eva. Betsy and Ruth and the youngest two were interested only in their dinner. These responses, if not all favourable, were relatively normal. And then there was his brother. Bruce turned his head and looked directly at Perce who was stolidly eating..., his eyes on his plate, but his brother’s impassive stance didn’t fool him. When had it first dawned on him that Perce liked Amy, and moreover that his cousin was aware of Perce’s feelings and did not welcome them? He wasn’t sure. It could only be a matter of weeks ago. He was probably as thick as two short planks not to have noticed earlier. Bruce speared a piece of mutton with his fork and began to chew, his thoughts centred on Perce. He had hero-worshipped his brother at one time.MoreLess
