“Emeric, you’re being unfair, man. You promised to bring Evadne over this time, Besides, we’re practically family now, not just guests!” Jeff rambled on though confusion gnawed at him inside.

Emeric settled into his seat, “If you really care about Evadne, you should let her heal properly. No need to drag her around.”

It was just before that horse race that he’d met with Emeric in private.

He had also pondered Byron’s marriage prospects, his beloved second son, second only to his eldest in his affections.

He was angling for a double celebration, hoping to propose to Emeric and Myra’s daughter Nydia on behalf of Byron.

Originally, he didn’t think Nydia was a match for Byron given her modest background.

Usually, Evadine’s stunning beauty and presence overshadowed Nydia

But now, it was clear that both sisters were beauties in their own right, reminiscent of the classic novel’s contrasting heroines, like the fair and virtuous Amy and the fiery and passionate Jo.
