God, Englishmen, she thought. Morals at the worse times. He looked soft. Hair mussed, lips red. He was flushing, red up his cheeks. Fists clenched slightly as though he wanted to touch again.

Later that night, his mother pronounced the event a success before heading upstairs. His father chuckled. His sister danced up the stairs with so much joy. He left walking out into the dark sky. He should have danced with other ladies. He should have called on others. He shouldn’t have taken Clara to see her. He shouldn’t have gone to the opera. Mrs. Ash was showing him how easy it was to get trapped in the game and how much she did not want to play.

She rode well as benefitted a cavalry officer’s wife, he supposed. He wondered what drove her out of bed in the morning. It had been disconcerting to see her with only a lone footman out so early. She had the same smile whether she was in a ballroom, study, or on a horseback. As if all suited equally, or none at all.

Eveline had surprised most of society when she had danced the waltz before getting the nod by the Matrons of the Almanac. Robert hadn’t told her. Either way, last time, the Matrons had only fluttered fans and muttered quietly but no one gave Eveline or Robert the cut direct. It was widely assumed she had already been the permissions when she had danced in polite society abroad. She had never danced in polite society before England. Some days, she missed the dancing of her youth. Copyright Olivia Orndorff 2021 |
