After reading through her brother’s letter, Selina went to find Aunt Georgiana and Uncle Latimer, who were both in the withdrawing room. They looked up when she entered with the letter in hand.

“I’ve a letter from Thomas,” she announced.

“How is he doing?” Aunt Georgiana asked.

“It sounds as though he’s overstayed his welcome in the North,” she replied. “He was wondering if it would be all right if he came for the wedding.”

“Of course,” Uncle Latimer said. “Don’t know when it will be. Hopefully, it will be rescheduled soon. I’ll write to him to let him know that he’s more than welcome.”

“Thank you, Uncle Latimer.”

Her uncle laughed. “Of course. Then, you can both travel to Staunton together at the end of your stay.”

“That was my thinking, as well,” she agreed. She refolded the letter, frowning. Her uncle looked at her, expectantly. “I just want to apologize to you, Uncle. I’m sorry for going out. It was reckless and thoughtless of me.”

“The most important thing is that you’re safe, my dear,” he said. “I can’t imagine what we’d do if we lost you.”

“Thank you, Uncle. Your kind concern means so much to me.”

“Yes, well. Let it be a lesson learned,” he said, taking her hand, and patting it.

“Agreed,” she said, squeezing his hand. She waved her brother’s letter. “I’ll write to my brother and let him know that he’ll be hearing from you soon.”

“Yes, yes,” Uncle Latimer said. “I’ll write to him this evening, so that we can get our dear Viscount out of Lord Merriweather’s hair. I wonder what he’s done this time.”

“I do too,” Selina agreed, curtsying and then leaving the room. Her brother was often hot tempered. He got himself into disagreements frequently. He was also a known flirt with the ladies, something which got him in trouble with the gentlemen.

He was a good brother, though. He and Selina were very close. She was dying for him to meet Jasper, so she could find out what he thought. If Thomas approved, then her parents would approve.
