Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 30
He was the only person in London who officially corresponded with Mr. Dalton. Frequent exchanges with him would make it easy to include her regards in his letters.
Miss Lance decided to initiate a connection with Mr. Fairfax. As her first attempt, she persuaded her parents to invite the Fairfax siblings to dinner.
Her mother was reluctant to associate with Mr. Fairfax due to the small size of his country estate and mansion, despite his success as a self-made businessman. However, she was convinced by Miss Lance’s argument that he was Mr. Dalton’s in-law and that a connection with Mr. Fairfax was necessary to secure Mr. Dalton, and thus agreed to the invitation.
Mr. Lance surprisingly gave his consent readily, as Miss Lance had cleverly informed him beforehand that the Fairfax siblings were descendants of an old gentry family from Yorkshire.
Soon after, the Fairfax siblings were invited to dinner at the Lance residence. The Lance family enjoyed their company more than expected. The siblings were attractive, gentle, and lively. Moreover, they were generous with praise and admiration, satisfying the pride of each member of the Lance family.
The Lance family developed a much greater fondness for the siblings than before. Mr. Lance, in particular, was so pleased with Mr. Fairfax that he even offered him his premium cigars after dinner.
Mr. Fairfax graciously accepted his offer. Unlike Mr. Dalton, he was more tolerant of the nobility’s self-praise.
Before they left, Miss Lance asked Mr. Fairfax, as he kissed her hand, to convey her regards to Mr. Dalton in Whitefield.
Mr. Fairfax gladly agreed and helped his sister into the carriage. Miss Lance watched the departing carriage with a satisfied smile, having achieved her goal.
Afterwards, Miss Lance frequently interacted with the Fairfax siblings. She would occasionally visit Mr. Fairfax’s townhouse for tea or attend concerts and operas together upon invitation.
Although these interactions were intended to inform Ian Dalton of her news, Miss Lance began to genuinely enjoy their company.
Miss Janet Fairfax was a lovely young lady and an ardent admirer of Miss Lance. She marveled at Miss Lance’s every action and agreed with her every opinion, which naturally pleased Miss Lance.
However, Mr. Fairfax proved to be an even more valuable friend.
Until then, Miss Lance had known Mr. Fairfax only as a kind and handsome gentleman. But as their interactions increased, she realized he was more than just a nice man.
He was as thoughtful as he was kind. He listened attentively to Miss Lance’s words and carefully expressed his own opinions. Each of his words was filled with consideration and wisdom.
