The following day was very hot, with a strong sun for early autumn. Jemima had spent the day airing the guest rooms in the unlikely event that anyone would ever be invited to come and visit them at Delaval. The furnishings were old-fashioned but of good quality and there was plenty of wear left in them. She knew that decorating and refurbishing the house was the least of Rob’s priorities. All of his father’s money would go on rebuilding the estate and the farms so that Delaval could become self-supporting once again. His grandmother’s money, should he inherit it, would go the same way. Jemima hung the blankets out on a makeshift line between the apple trees in the orchard and reflected once again that at this rate there would be no difficulty in Rob fulfilling the terms of his grandmother’s will. The difficulty would come when the one hundred days were up and they could not remember each other’s names. So much for Rob talking about wooing his own wife. If this was his wooing, then men were even less adept in matters of the heart than she had been led to believe.
