Then Came You
“By anyone’s standards, Squire and Lady Lawson were an odd pair. George was a scholarly man, occupying himself with books of Greek and Latin, closeting himself in a room for days at a time with his texts and having all his meals sent in. The squire had no interest in the outside world. Through sheer carelessness he had badly mismanaged the estate and fortune he had inherited. His wife Totty was an attractive, fluttery woman, all round eyes and bouncing golden curls. She adored society gossip and... parties, and had always set her heart on a splendid wedding for her daughter.
Alex could see how the two of them could produce a child like Penelope. Quiet, shy, pretty Penelope was the best of them combined. As for Lily…there was no accounting for how she had emerged from the Lawson family. Alex didn’t blame them for casting Lily out of their lives. Otherwise there would have been no peace for any of them. He had no doubt that she thrived on conflict, that she would meddle and torment until those around her had been driven insane.MoreLess
