“I was reading Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice last night and got a bit carried away. That’s why I overslept. I’m sorry!”
Mrs. Grant looked at Rosemary with admiration and said, “It’s a really good book. I heard your father said you are studying art?”
Nodding her head, Rosemary replied, “Yes, I’m studying acting. I hope to finish my studies after I get married. I know this career is going to be controversial, but I really love acting.”
As she finished, there was a noise outside the door. It was Daisy’s voice, “Mum and Dad, I’m home!”
Laurie met Mrs. Grant’s surprised look and said, “This is my little girl, Daisy. She’s been lively since she was a kid, not like Rosemary.”
“It’s better for girls to be lively.” Mrs. Grant stood up and said, “We’ll send a car for Rosemary tomorrow morning to see Wilson. You’re getting married, after all. Meet your future husband first, then you won’t be scared!”
“Thank you, Mrs. Grant!” Rosemary said, and Mrs. Grant stood up, smiled and left.
As Soon as Mrs. Grant left, Daisy said to Rosemary, “You’re really good. I’ve only been out for half a day and you’re going to marry Mr. Grant.”
Rosemary smiled, looked back at Daisy and said, “What? If you want to be The Young Mrs. Grant, you can have it.”
