Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 54
“There’s no problem with the dance. Now the question is how much you can please the lady. Mr. Dalton prefers directness over manners, so you’ll have to hide that well.”
“Does Miss Pendleton find my manner of speaking repulsive?”
“I don’t mind. Honestly, that’s what I like most about Mr. Dalton. But that’s just because I’ve been in society too long and am sick of manners. Most ladies think of social etiquette as gospel.”
“It sounds like you’re telling me to completely hide my nature. Could you explain a bit more?”
“If a lady seems even slightly uncomfortable, change the subject immediately. And shower praise on everything the lady says. As if all her words and actions lead to the right thing. And though it may be cringeworthy, compliments on her attire are essential. Point out the details meticulously. For example, her dress or hair ornaments.”
“Hmm, Miss Pendleton looks especially lovely today. The sky blue dress you’re wearing suits your gray eyes well. These flowers adorning your golden hair are fragrant, but pale in comparison to your beauty.”
Miss Pendleton chuckled.
“Are you practicing on me?”
“Is it unpleasant?”
“Practice all you like. I don’t mind being used by Mr. Dalton. And as a woman, compliments on beauty are not unpleasant to hear.”
“My goodness. If I had known my compliments would please Miss Pendleton, I would have offered them more often. From now on, I shall shower you with praise about your dress and hairstyle every time I see you. Until you hit me with your fan to stop because you’re tired of it.”
“If you’re waiting for the day you’ll be hit with my fan, you won’t achieve that wish even in your coffin. I’m not one to stop compliments about being pretty.”
The waltz continued. Mr. Dalton’s dance line, who had asked for the dance, was flawless. Any lady he danced with now would fall in love with him after just one song. Miss Pendleton had nothing more to teach.
Miss Pendleton knew this well, but didn’t stop dancing. She didn’t want to let him go. This dance was the last waltz of her long social life. Now Miss Pendleton would no longer receive dance requests from gentlemen as a lady.
That meant this dance was also the last waltz with Ian Dalton.

It’s progressing a bit slowly, but nicely… I hope there won’t be unnecessary distances between them due to misunderstandings.
I think this trip to Bath will be good to Laura. Meeting these women will inspire her to be more confident. I just hope her ex and Mr. Dalton don’t ruin it.
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.
