Crawford manor, kitchen

Later that day

She was in the kitchen, enjoying a fine cup of black tea and resisting the ever-present urge to talk to the help, when her parents barged in. It was in a manner unbecoming of their stature, indicating that they had something important to tell her.

“Good day, father. You too, mother.” She dispensed with the pleasantries, in the precise manner that she was taught to.

“Top of the day to you, Rose,” her father said.

“We have got good news for you,” her mother added with a smile.

Of course. Predictable as always.

“So, what do you have for me today? Which ball are we going to parade me through tonight, only to give the boot to anyone brave enough to approach me?” Despite the content of her statement, she spoke in a courteous tone.

“Not this time, Rose. Tonight we are bringing you to Moore manor,” her father said.

“And it is no mere display this time, my dear. The young Duke has shown a genuine interest in you!” Her mother said.

The Duke? Duke Thomas Moore? She blushed at the mere mention of the name. The Duke was well-known for a number of things: his wealth, his wit, and his good looks as well. A great many times had he caught her attention, and she never once missed an opportunity to take a closer look at him. And it appears that the attraction is indeed mutual. She smiled, and her parents’ grins widened in response.

“I see that you like the idea,” her father said.

“We are so glad that our tastes coincide!” Her mother added as usual.

“And here I thought this day would never come!” Rose exclaimed, more for herself than for her parents to hear. Her thoughts races as the picture of the Duke replaced the sight of her parents. Impressively tall, lean and wide-shouldered, he looked amazing regardless of what he wore. And he always wore the finest fashions. His long, golden locks were almost as impressive as his face or blue eyes, but in tandem they dazzled every girl who was fortunate enough to lay eyes on them. And Rose was fortunate enough to see him a great many times, although she had never gotten the chance to actually speak to the man. I wonder what that will be like!

“Ahem, Rose!”

“Right here, girl! We haven’t left the room yet!”

“Ah, excuse me! I have drifted off slightly, it seems!” She smiled just a little bit, in a sly attempt to take some attention away from her lapse in proper demeanor. If anyone else did it, it would fail outright. However, Rose was so beautiful, and so, so good at it that her parents couldn’t help but let it pass. “I am afraid that this has caught me by complete surprise! I did not expect you to settle for me marrying anyone below, well—below the Prince Regent himself!” She said, more as a jest than an actual remark.

“Oh, really? What a charming coincidence!” her father replied.

“Neither did we. But sadly, the man keeps refusing every time we bring it up,” her mother concluded with a dry smile.
