Diane nodded, forcing herself to look at Honore. "I have to learn everything I can to keep my husband," she said. "You told me that Lord Martinez's people can have more then one wife. Call me selfish, comtess, but I wish to keep my husband to myself for as long as I can. If he must seek other brides, I want it to be because of politics and not because he has tired of me."<br/><br/>Her fingers played with her nightgown. "I know he expects a virgin when he beds me, and I will be one for him. However, I don't want to be embarassed by him findig himself a scullary maid because I can't hold his attention. That's what I need to learn, how to keep a man's attention."<br/><br/>In the back of her mind, she wondered if she could learn that. Men, she felt, wanted exciting women. If she could be more like Honore, then maybe she stood a chance.
