<br/>Rowena's smile curled slightly as her aunt seamed to pick up interest in the conversation her concern was little to do with her health however,  she was long used to Rowena's occasional maladies. Rowena was glad her quick thinking and excuse had seamed appropriate, in truth it was partially true she was not used to London smog and it could make her feel horrid but it was a far less tangible thing that was the true cause.  Rowena felt she sensed a recognizable mood in the Major then she had heard men and women speak as such before, when there was a loss or departure.<br/><br/><em>"I am sure it is quite wonderful, I often find my own gardens a suited place to collect my thoughts and study the beauty of the world.  Would you agree Major than there is no garden greener and better tended too on earth than those of this fair land?"<br/></em><br/>Rowena smiled and allowed a pause for thought and reply before she answered his question of her.<em>"I would be delighted to walk with you in the gardens, providing it does not interrupt our hosts affairs of course and that it is permitted." </em><br/><br/>Rowena's aunt was almost smiling at such a thing and already her attention had turned to the Major and silently she regarded him and pondered how she might use this to her own advantage, already her mind spun with thoughts of matchmaking once more. Could it be that she had found one who Rowena would not instantly shun or push away with her opinions, which she was sure Rowena did on purpose just for the sake of rebellion against her she was to much of her Father and all that was wrong in her Mother.  Rowena's smile only grew as she noticed the tell tale signs of her aunt's mind at work, Rowena always knew when she was plotting and it always delighted her when she did so over such trivial things.
