Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 117
She and herself were similar. Neither had married, and both had received an exceptionally high level of education for women. Yet their lives had been entirely different. Even if she had inherited 200,000 pounds at the age of eighteen, she would never have considered boarding a ship to Africa.
Sailing. Adventure. Challenge.
Her nature was far removed from such things. She desired freedom, but it was merely another expression of her wish to find an environment where she could live with respect.
As a governess, Laura Pendleton had come to realize this with certainty.
What she wanted was to do meaningful work in a quiet place. To use her abilities in the right way and, in return, earn appropriate respect and affection.
Had she inherited 200,000 pounds, she might have built a school in a quiet rural village. There, she would have spent her days playing with children, reading books, and singing songs. And she would have had no complaints about that life.
If Mary Lotis was a flame, she was water—specifically, a gentle stream flowing through a quiet valley.
And Laura was content with being that way.
“Growing older is a good thing. It makes it easier to accept myself. And with that, my heart finds peace.”
Like a gentle stream, Laura flowed through the crowds of Bath. Soon, in this bustling city, she found a place that brought peace and calm to her soul: a bookshop.
Laura entered without hesitation. The moment she stepped inside, the smell of paper filled her senses.
She strolled slowly between the bookshelves. Her heart quickly lifted, filled with a pleasant excitement. At the same time, a scholarly fervor, no less intense than Mary Lotis’s passion, welled up within her.
She went to the foreign language section and selected a volume of Plato’s complete works in Greek. Then, from the German section, she picked up a book by the philosopher Nietzsche.
With the books in her arms, Laura’s heart raced. She couldn’t wait to return to her hotel room, sit at the elegant rosewood desk, and devour each sentence thoroughly.
Humming softly, she approached the counter. The clerk noticed dust on the Plato volume and offered to replace it with a clean copy, then headed to the storeroom. Laura wondered if the owner of this bookshop was a reckless merchant, stocking Plato’s original texts in the indulgent city of Bath, as she waited for the clerk.

Each chapter leaves me in suspense for the future. Although the readers are given assurance from Laura’s feelings since the carriage kiss, I can’t help but doubt the next steps for this couple! Ian’s feeling are deep and tumultuous like waves against a cliff. I can only hope that when the two finally meet, he will remain level headed.
