Chapter Fifteen
When the picnic came to an end, Cyrus stood in front of Jem and frowned. âAre you sure Reese is gone?â
Jem nodded and handed him the short note, but it didnât do much to answer any questions. Apparently sheâd been invited to visit another estate and would be gone for a while.
He didnât know what it was about the picnic, but the girls theyâd arrived with had been constantly busy and off doing things on their own. Or in Kaitlynâs case, visiting and charming everyone she interacted with. Cyrus hated to admit he felt lost and was glad Jem had been sucked into the past with them.
Aunt Nellie approached Jem and Cyrus. She smiled when they bowed to her. âYouâve been coming along so nicely, my dears. Before long, no one will even recall that you had awkward mannerisms before.â
âWere we really that bad?â Cyrus asked.
Aunt Nellie shrugged. âYouâve acclimated to the culture very well. I think it has helped that youâve had so many friends with you. And sweet Kaitlyn had already introduced you to it through my program back home.â
âItâs a good thing I got to play at it for a week,â Cyrus said. âBut you see how much better at this Jem is than me. Heâs a natural at fitting in.â
âHow well do you think you could do if you were to go on a little trip?â Aunt Nellie asked.
âDid Kaitlyn ask you about taking a trip into London?â Jem asked.
âShe did. And I think it a lovely idea. Although I can spare only a few of my servants to go with you, I do want to make sure she is well looked after. She is so interested in what is going on in this time, but she doesnât quite understand what is still expected of a young lady. I wouldnât want her to go off and explore things on her own. She must always have one of you to guide her. Preferably Jem. Cyrus, I must ask you to keep your distance unless there is also another gentleman or lady with you. Iâve seen you try to sneak away with her, or get her on her own with you, but that must not happen. You canât injure her in that way.â
Cyrus frowned. âI have no intention of injuring her. Iâve been trying to be sure sheâs not been alone. Iâve done my best to keep her from being in any kind of compromising situation with Jack.â
Nellie nodded slowly. âYes, youâve been very attentive, but in your efforts of keeping Sir Hughes away from her, youâve put her in private moments with just you. And people have begun to talk. We donât want Miss Taylor to be the object of gossipers.â
Jem looked at Cyrus and he wondered if her brother was going to be angry with him, but Jemâs words eased his mind. âI personally asked Cyrus to keep tabs on her. I know I have shirked my duties as her brother. With Reese gone for a time, Iâll be more attentive.
