atching Lady Madalene push her dolls around in her doll buggy was a delight the Ladies Colton indulged in each morning after breakfast. The young Viscount, Edmund, seemed more than relieved to not have this responsibility. He preferred to meander about the conservatory or explore the stable and carriage house after breakfast. Sometimes he liked to take an apple as a treat and ride Jasper, his horse. Within a few days, Lady Selina soon found it equally enjoyable to follow the Ladies Colton at least for a few turns in the garden. It was sunny enough that they each carried a parasol, with the exception of Madalene. With Nurse Lottie’s help, Georgiana made sure her youngest charge wore a lace trimmed, linen, summery bonnet, securely tied beneath her chin.

The floor was wooden with no carpet but swept and scrubbed clean, the smell of soap still lingering. A project table with eight chairs about it claimed the other side of the room. A small trunk with a few interesting toys sat in a corner not too far from the project table, meant to serve as a reward for younger pupils who behaved well in school. She was delighted to find a laboratory table held a telescope and a microscope near one of the windows. Several comfortable cushioned reading chairs created a cozy area to read with a table, oil lamp and candles.
