The colonel had exceptional taste — likely in all things. How could he not if he could name a bird so well, like music, and recite poetry?
“About Colonel Brandon,” their mother prompted when Marianne did not continue speaking. “How did he come to be at our gate?”
Marianne lifted her eyes from the sheet of music on her lap. She would have to imagine how the colonel might sound singing this piece later when there were not so many inquisitive people around to interrupt her musings.

Love the card, but I don’t remember this particular book.
It’s a pretty card, isn’t it? And the saying is sweet. This book came out a few years ago. 🙂
What a lovely card. I did so enjoy that book. The three novelettes were delightful. Marianne watching Colonel Brandon was fabulous. Whew! Fan points. Sorry I’m late to the party. Blessings, stay safe, and healthy.
That was fun a scene when she was watching him and then got found out. 🙂 I’m glad you enjoyed it.
