Charles sat watching the interchange. He glanced frequently at Caroline. He’d noted her expression when she entered the room and realized he was having dinner with them. He smiled his most confident smile at her. She was definitely going to be a problem, and he did not tolerate problems well.

Please join us in the dining room,” Damon said, when he saw Buckley come to the door and nod. He took Mrs. Smitten’s arm to escort her into the dining room, and Caroline offered her arm to the reverend.

“I have heard you are interested in starting a school for the children, Lady Royston.”

“Yes, I am, Rev. Smitten. I have discussed it with my husband, and he has agreed. We have not decided where we may place the school. I also need to find a teacher,” Caroline added as the Rev. Smitten pulled out her chair at the table.

“A teacher?” Mrs. Smitten looked across the table at her. “I know just the person. My niece, Annie, lives two villages over and she has finished her schooling. The family is large and would welcome a situation for her.”

“I would like to interview her. Could you ask her to contact me?” Caroline asked.

“Oh, you do not need to worry. She will be perfect. I’ll tell her to plan on moving here right away,” Mrs. Smitten said firmly.

Caroline took a deep breath. She waited until her soup bowl was filled and everyone had started to eat.

“I will be interviewing several candidates. I will be glad to include your niece in the interviews, but she should not assume she will get the job. I will make the decision.” Caroline finished speaking and smiled pleasantly across the table at Mrs. Smitten.

Damon hid his smile behind his napkin as he watched the exchange of words and saw Mrs. Smitten puff up like an angry hen. His wife had gently taken charge. Obviously a rare experience for the reverend’s wife.
