Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 84
After breakfast, Laura sought permission from Mrs. Fairfax regarding the matter.The lady, who had always maintained a “do as you please” attitude toward her children’s affairs, unusually refused outright.
“That boy, once he goes to Whitefield, disappears without a trace.He says he has paintings to copy and stays two days,gets invited to the parsonage and stays three days,plans to play chess with his uncle in the evening and stays four days—his stay extends indefinitely.The art teacher and music teacher we painstakingly arranged for him always end up with nothing to do.”
“Oh dear.”
Laura sighed and looked at Olivia.
“You really want to go to Whitefield?”
“Yes! Yes! Teacher!”
Olivia clenched her fists and shouted with thunderous enthusiasm.Laura, startled, flinched her shoulders.
Mrs. Fairfax raised an eyebrow and cleared her throat.At that, Olivia quickly lowered her clenched fists and glanced at Laura.
Laura sensed a strange undercurrent, as if some unspoken signal had passed between the two, and looked back and forth between them with a puzzled expression.
“Anyway, Olivia, you cannot go to Whitefield alone.Wait until you can visit with the family next time.”
At that, Olivia’s face turned forlorn, as if she might cry at any moment, and she hung her head low.Her small shoulders slumped along with it.
Laura, forgetting the odd atmosphere she had just sensed, felt pity for Olivia.After a moment of thought, she spoke to Mrs. Fairfax.
“Then, I’ll accompany Miss Fairfax.”
“Oh my, we couldn’t possibly trouble you, teacher…”
“No, Mrs. Fairfax. When I was in London, Mr. Dalton often attended tea parties on busy days to fill empty seats.I’m glad to have the chance to return the favor.”

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.
