The Viscount's Wallflower Bride

by Lauren Royal

  The carriage began moving at last. “I’ve my heart set on yellow flowers,” Lady Carrington told Lily, “because Judith looks best in yellow. But she wants to be married in blue. What color will you wear for your wedding?”

  “Blue is nice,” Lily said with a vague smile.

  She wasn’t ready to think about weddings, and most certainly not her own.

  Rose was a year older—her wedding had to come first.

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  Our heartfelt thanks:

  To Al Stewart, for writing "House of Clocks," a song that sounded so eerily like Ford Chase that it inspired us to rewrite the beginning of his story to make it start on St. Swithin's Day (check out Mr. Stewart's album Down in the Cellar if you'd like to hear it).

  To Geoff Pavitt, Facilities Manager at Gresham College, for finding an incredible amount of information for us, including stuff we didn't even know we needed until he sent it.

  To librarian Claire Andrews, at the Heritage Park Library in Irvine, California, for all her hard work finding obscure 300-year-old books and arranging inter-library loans for us.

  To Peter Do and Martha Altieri, for the Latin translation.

  To Herb Royal, for attempting the Latin translation.

  To our Chase Family Readers’ Group, for their enthusiastic support.

  And, as always, to all of our readers, especially the ones who have taken the time to write and let us know how you feel about our stories.

  Thank you, one and all!
