16 Chapter 13I

“ I am that Mary wanderer of the night” that did not sound right, there was no one called Mary in the Midsummer night's dream, Richard thought. He had left his spectacles in his study, and was finding it hard to concentrate the word on the book. He had started reading immediately Ann had handed him the book a week ago, and he found the book quite enchanting.

“May I see the book please?” Lady Watsby asked, collecting the book from Richard.

“ I am that merry wanderer of the night” she corrected.

“ I forgot my spectacles again, my apologies for the discomfort” Richard explained.

“ I believe there is no cause for apologies” she replied waving him off.

“ But if you insist, I would prefer some more of these delicious biscuits, to prove your sincerity” She added grinning.

“ As expected, you are making good use of your opportunity” Richard laughed. He stood up to ring for a maid, but spotted Miss Ann walking passing through the hall.
