- Arthur, I must ask.
Have you been avoiding me since the shooting party?
- I thought you were avoiding me.
(laughs) You seemed quite preoccupied with your friends.
- No, they're just a distraction.
I would far sooner have your company than theirs.
- There you are, Harry.
We've barely seen you these past few days.
- Not since the bath set arrived.
- Or could it be that you've been spending all your time in Miss Lambe's company?
You two are becoming quite inseparable.
- Miss Heywood, I trust you are well.
- Very well, thank you, Lady Lydia.
- We are much looking forward to your party, Miss Lambe.
Can I assume the brothers Colbourne will be there?
- I've invited them both.
- Oh.
- I must thank you for your advice, miss Hayward.
Once I kept the conversation to dogs and horses, I found Mr. Colbourne to be pleasing company indeed.
- I'm glad.
- And the feeling was plainly mutual, since we've received an invitation to Harry Park tomorrow.
Apparently no one has caught his eyes since the death of his wife.
