Euphrosyne was in the morning room reading when Mama entered.

“Euphrosyne.” Her mother handed her a letter that had come. “Lord Markville has invited you to go riding tomorrow morning.”

The invitation was short, but the writing was in a bold, commanding hand that gave Euphrosyne more information about his lordship than she’d had before. A delightful thrill raced through her. “May I go?”

“I do not see a reason for you not to accompany him if you wish.”

“Thank you, Mama.” Sitting down at the small cherry desk, Euphrosyne wrote a short reply accepting his invitation. After sealing her letter, she gave it to the footman outside the door. “Please give this to the messenger.”

She went back to her book, but it failed to hold her attention. The only problem with knowing when she would see Lord Markville was waiting for morning to come.

Not long afterward, Meg sailed into the room. “I would like to invite you to dine with us tomorrow evening.”

“That would be lovely.” Mama motioned Meg to the place on the sofa next to her. “Is that the only reason for your visit?”

“No, I have had a letter from my grandmother that is full of news.”

Mama rang for more tea, and she and Meg settled in for a comfortable coze. Euphrosyne, not being particularly interested in talk about people she would most likely never meet, slid out of the room. Surely she could find something to speed the hours until tomorrow.
