Lady Whitley, was a bit disturbed and yet Roweena knew why. It was because her mother didn't really care for the arrangement but father approved.<br/><br/>"What is it, Mother? " Roweena spoke so softly.<br/><br/>"Your father and Lord Artirus have been speaking. Lord Artirus seems to think that you are the one that he wishes for a wife. He has asked that you reside with him, with supervision of course, and get to know his family history and what would be expected out of you should the two of you marry in the near future. You would be taking Amy of course. I suspect that James would be your butler and James is interested in Amy so it would benefit both of them to be in the same household....... Lord Artirus has an old governess by the name of Henrietta who will keep an eye on the two of you...." Lady Whitley began.<br/><br/>"Yes, he is quite fond of her altho she stills scolds him as if he was still a child. Would it be ok if I say yes, I am interested in residing in his house? His home is rather large and I would have my own apartment. He spoke of it to me yesterday. We are well matched, neither of us caring for the modern society and customs. I promise that I will be on my guard and Amy will be at my side when ever I leave the apartment. I will visit often and Mary and Elizabeth will have their own rooms. Father won't need to be worrying about finding a larger home. Which can be used as an excuse for allowing me to live in an apartment of my own. You can come and visit me...." Roweena was choosing her words carefully as she spoke.<br/><br/>"Lord Artirus, if Roweena agrees, then on the day after tomorrow, she may move in with you in her own apartment. I'll provide a small stipend for her needs until she is wedded. Is that satisfactory enough for you? the younger ladies will be told tomorrow of the arrangements and I am sure as organized as Roweena is, she will be ready to leave on the day after tomorrow." Lord Whitley assured the young man.<br/><br/>Soon Amy was sent to find the gentlemen.<br/>"Excuse me, gentlemen but the Ladies request your presence in the parlor."<br/><br/>"Shall we then find out what has been decided?" Lord whitley spoke as he walked towards the parlor.
