I smile a little and nod, "Thank you."Once then are distracted I turn to her and glare, placing her arm back to her side  .

I take Amelie upstairs and tuck her in the bed I share with Elisabeth. Then I go back downstairs and do the same with Louis. I kiss them each on the forehead and pull the blankets up under their chins.
I go back downstairs and join my wife on the sofa, I slip an arm around her waist while Maria sits herself on my knee.
"Did you say thank you to Lady Katherine?" I ask my daughter.
I bite my lower lip when Edward moves my arm, and lean against him a little. What was it going to take to get this man to show a little affection? At this rate I was never going to get any children.

Maria stares at him with wide eyes, realising that she hadn't.. she quickly turns back to them, "Thank you for the dresses, Lady Katherine."

"It's fine, don't mention it," I smile at her. "I hope you enjoy them," I glance at the grandfather clock in the room and call Mary in. "Fetch up some afternoon tea, would you?"

".. Yes, Ma'am." She nodded, going to do so.
I smile up at Gaspard, attempting to come up with conversation still, and failing miserabley. I used to be quite a socialite back at home. But now I'm terribley shy.

I smile at her, noticing the change. I quite liked it, I've felt closer to her and the children over the last few days, back home I hardly saw them, I spent all my time working, depsite the horrible situation, I liked spending time with them. "Did you get to see much of the city?" I ask, making conversation

"A little. It seems nice.. quaint." I smile, "Certainly different to Paris."

"That's nice, I suppose I'll see a little bit now and ages, not while hunting though," I say with a slight laugh.

I give him a slight grin, "Be careful tomorrow. I wouldn't like to see you come back with any broken limbs. Not like last time."
I help myself to more wine, glancing aside to Katherine every so often, wondering what one earth shes up to.

I glance up at Edward as my cheeks redden, after just telling him what a great hunter I was, I felt a little embarressed.
I glance back at Elisabeth. "That was an accident ... and it wasn't my fault, the horse got spooked," I say, smiling at her slightly. "I won't happen again," I lean across and kiss her cheek lightly.
When Edward sits back again I lean on him further, my hand slipping through the opening of his shirt, my fingers lightly caressing his chest muscles. I press my lips to his ear and whisper, "They make a lovely couple, don't they Eddie?" I use his nickname whenever I'm trying to soften him up. "And their children are so beautiful,"
