<br/><strong>Last words at the diner table </strong><br/><br/>Rowena finished her selected desert she had chosen the second option and seamed to enjoy it immensely as it was the only course which she had not simply picked at, she seamed to have become distracted again however and lost in her thoughts. Rowena did well at hiding her worry but she could not help the distraction she nodded to the Major and forced a dwindling smile for his benefit, she was quite intrigued by the man and his willingness to converse with her on  such subjects.<em>"It would appear that it has a shame indeed would that we had more time to talk,  but later perhaps enjoy yourself Major Tyler and I thank you for your request on my behalf in advance." </em><br/><br/>Rowena was slightly startled by the kiss of her hand she shyly turned away for a moment before glancing back to the Major with reaffirmed confidence and seriousness.<em>"Thank you once again Major Tyler, you are most gracious I shall think fondly on our topic of conversation while I sup tea and mingle with my own." </em><br/><br/>As Rowena gathered herself and prepared to retire to the drawing room with aunt she considered the sense that had almost overwhelmed her earlier and the newer revelations that rushed upon her,  It was time to confront them and discover what she could she glanced around for the nearest maid.   Finding it was<strong>Bethany</strong>she approached her to speak her request.<em> "I asked that a pot of tea be provided for me earlier, would you be so kind as to remind and see that it arrives in the drawing room shortly." </em><br/><br/>
