Chapter 57: Chapter 56, part 1

The three women – Adela, Emily, and Aunt Virginia- with Peter's help, climbed into the carriage and made themselves comfortable in the seats. Soon they heard Peter's whip tearing the air, and the carriage started with a gentle vibration.

Virginia was sitting across from the girls, looking at them with a smile.

"I enjoy seeing you overwhelmed by excitement. I knew you would like the ball, but not that much. You convey your excitement to me and I love that. It makes me really happy to see you two happy. "

"Yes Aunt Virginia, we are full of excitement, and we owe it to you. How can we ever repay you for all this?"

Virginia smiled. "If you insist so much to repay me, then I will accept the repayment with your full happiness in your lives."
