Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book. I'm Elizabeth, your host, and it is so wonderful to be here with you tonight. This evening, we'll be continuing a room with a view, but before we do, Close your eyes and let the day drift a little farther away. Take one slow, comfortable breath in and let it go.
There is nothing to solve, nothing to remember and nowhere else you need to be. Imagine a quiet evening sky, soft and still, and let your thoughts float across it like a cloud. With every breath, allow yourself to become a little calmer, a little quieter. A little more ready for sleep. Lucy tried to face the awkward situation created by the arrival of the Emerson's with determination.
Convincing herself that her strong feelings around George were merely nerves rather than affection. Miss Bartlett came to stay at Windy Corner and revived memories of the incident in Florence, worrying that Cecil might somehow learn of the impulsive kiss. But Lucy insisted that George had matured since Italy.
Yet despite her efforts to dismiss the past, thoughts of him continued to occupy her mind. The following Sunday after church, Lucy and her family encountered George and his father at their cottage. During the conversation, Lucy discovered with immense relief that George had never told his father about what had happened.
The knowledge that the secret remained shared only by a few people filled her with perhaps disproportionate joy. though she did not fully understand why. Interpreting her happiness as relief that Cecil would never hear of the incident, she returned home in unusually high spirits. She warmly praised George to Cecil and looked forward to seeing him again at the afternoon tennis gathering.
And tonight, we pick up at the post-tennis lunch. So just lie back and relax as I turn to the next pages of a room with a view. Chapter 15 continued. Lunch was a cheerful meal. Generally, Lucy was depressed at meals. Someone had to be soothed. Either Cecil or Miss Bartlett, or a being not visible to the mortal eye. A being who whispered to her soul, it will not last, this cheerfulness.
