March 1814
The crisp morning air held a distinct chill that was not unusual for midMarch. Despite the biting cold, two swans glided across the glassy surface
of the water while Jane’s exhalations caused hazy clouds of mist to billow
from her nose and mouth. Few wandered Hyde Park before the fashionable
hour, but of late, she sought the solace of a solitary ramble before those who
thrived on gossip descended upon the paths to see and be seen. The frigid
weather alone was enough to keep most from the park today. The time alone
would provide some much needed peace.
“Miss Montford, should we not return to Richmond House?”
Jane glanced over her shoulder at Sutton, her maid, who stood beside
one of her grandfather’s footmen. Well, almost solitary. Since the debacle
with Mr. Bingley, Grandpapa insisted she take a maid and at least one
footman on every excursion. To tell the truth, he had always required her to
have a footman accompany her within London, and Jane had never been
one to argue.
“Just a little while longer.”
Sutton pursed her lips. Her maid had never been enamoured of the out
of doors and the cold even less. Jane had not been fond of walks before
Lizzy married, but for some reason, Richmond Castle and House had
become confining. She longed to spread her wings, and though she
remained an eligible prospect for a gentleman to marry—it seemed none
wanted her for more than a dance at a ball or a call or two. What was wrong
with her? Was she not meant to marry?
When she stood at the edge of the lake as she was, the freedoms she
had experienced when living at Longbourn seemed so distant, and while a
peace of sorts had been brokered for Lizzy’s wedding, relations were still
tense between the Montfords and her father, Mr. Bennet. Since she would
not return to live in her father’s house, walks in Hyde Park were her only
alternative to town and the busy nothings she now preferred to avoid.
She turned as her gaze followed the curves of the Serpentine, halting at
two little girls standing on the path. What was this? Even though their thick
woollen coats spoke of wealth, they had no maid or servant to accompany
them. The younger of the two had bright, red-rimmed eyes and tear streaks
down her pale cheeks. Jane did not hesitate to hasten towards them.
Something was amiss. Those two should not be on their own.
“Miss!”
She ignored Sutton’s entreaty without breaking her stride. No doubt,
her maid would have her avoid the children for fear of it being some plot,
but Jane would not leave two frightened young girls alone in Hyde Park.
Goodness knows what would happen to them!
As Jane approached and knelt so she was eye to eye with them both,
the child who appeared to be the oldest wrapped her arms around the other.
