I like this couple together! Very sweet honeymoon scenes :-)
I can't decide what is more horrid in Mrs. Vardy - that she accustomed her daughter to have her mail read by another, that in congratulating her on her wedding, she accused her of Sapphic tendencies or that Madeleine didn't know what her first name was... (not that her first action, in arranging her daughter's marriage to her own lover doesn't beat all this, but little things add up rather horridly too)
“My dear Madelaine, Lady Darsham, I should say, you should never call a gentleman managing, but instead refer to them as masterful,”
LOL at this! Governess wisdom made to suit romance readers...
Thank you!
