Olivia met her mother, Matt, and Annie in the main room shortly before six. Matt poured her a small glass of wine and she sampled the cured meats, pickles, and cheeses that had been laid out on a side table. The room looked lovely, of course, and the last of the dayâs sunshine glinted through the windows, moving and bouncing with the shadows of the few leaves still attached to the tree limbs that overhung the front of the house. The fire was crackling, making the room cozy even with her arms bare near to her shoulders. The dark blue velvet gown sheâd chosen had ring sleeves of cream lace with a low bodice, a small bustle, and an underskirt of cream-colored satin.
Her mother was in her best finery, and Annie lovely in pale green.
âAre you going to church on your way home from dinner?â she whispered to Matt as she stood beside him.
He looked at her strangely. âChurch?â
âIâve not seen you in a suit for some time,â she said softly and smiled. âI thought perhaps youâd worn it so you could stop and chat with the reverend.â
He pinched the back of her arm, making her jump and stifle a cry just as Aunt Brigid was being brought into the room in her wheeled chair.
âAunt Brigid,â he said. âWould you like to sit in the settee here by the fire? Iâll help you out of your chair if you do.â
âYes, Iâd like that. Turn the chair a bit so I can see everyone in the room.â
Matt did as he was told, and Olivia draped a lap robe over her auntâs knees when she was settled into her seat. âAre you comfortable?â
âYes, dear. When is your guest arriving?â.
âI donât know. I imagine soon,â she said. At that moment Jenny opened the door to the main room, and Jim Somerset stood in the doorway.
Her stomach flopped, her face flushed, and she licked her lips.
