Our couple takes a walk in the garden in chapter 4, and there is a bench involved. However, the couple in this painting look far happier than either Kitty or Lorcan will be during their walk in the garden.

“Are you well?” Kitty cried.
Mutely, he shook his head, for speech had left him.
“Do you wish to sit down?”
He nodded. Sitting was not exactly what he wished to do, but it was likely better than standing when the garden began to waver. She led him to a bench, and gratefully, he sank down onto it before his legs could fail him.
“Go on without me,” he said when he could once again speak now that his mind was no longer focused so intently on keeping him upright.
“But you are unwell,” she protested.

This picture looks melancholy. I read the chapter earlier. I could picture Kitty and Lorcan sitting here.
Melancholy is a very good descriptor for this picture. I’m glad you can see the connection between the chapter and this image. 🙂
Oh, dear. What has happened to our Lorcan? Bless his heart. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Hopefully, Kitty will explain her situation so he will understand. That picture has the female looking rather pensive… bored or, as jbrand3039 stated, melancholy. What is in his hand? It looks like binoculars. Perhaps he is more concerned with bird watching than paying her attention. I could see her being put out by that.
She might explain herself if he gives her the opportunity to do so…but that’s a big if there (meaning, it is not going to happen.) 😉
I’m not sure what is happening in the picture, but neither person looks as if they are enjoying their time in the garden.
