“That cannot be true. Surely you must’ve known … from the way I complimented you. Or from the way the gentleman with the brown hair and blue eyes looked at you I assume he also gave you enough compliments for you to know he’d be coming to see you today as well.” Bridget smiled slightly, “As I have said, my lord, I just think that one of the other ladies are simply the best choice.” Bridget’s mother laughed nervously, “Obviously, my daughter does not truly think that, she is just overly humble, Lord Brantley.” “At this moment in time I have no dishonorable intentions, I assure you, but I also have no honorable intentions. I’m only visiting the woman I admire hoping it’s enough for everything else to fall into place." The Viscountess pursed her lips, as if studying him for a moment, "A very…diplomatic answer, Lord Brantley. “Bridget, I know you’re usually the one to put the twins to bed. Remember, you told me last night how you sing them to sleep? I think they maybe won’t go to sleep because you’re not there to sing them your lullabies … I won’t mind if you go and take care of their nap times, I can stay here and entertain myself until you’re ready to see me again.” Bridget almost seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally replying, “I would Lord Brantley, but that would not be fair to you or very hospitable of me. If it is ok with you, you could come with me to see them.” Bridget almost whispered that last part softly. “I just hope hearing me sing will not make you think less of me.”
