"Why am I a fool? Am I to keep chasing after a man who cares so much for Eloise that he married her overnight? We must admit that I was never going to succeed in getting his attention," Iris said, yearning to move on.
"So you think what she did was right?" Agatha asked, starting to lose faith in Iris.
"No," Iris shook her head. "I would have liked for her to speak to me before she appeared at his side. If she told me that she had loved him all along, I would have stopped speaking about him and rooted for them. I am upset only by the manner in which she did it."
"I fear I cannot get through to our child, Clive. She does not see all the problems Eloise has created for this family, and how Eloise might have ruined her season. What do you think of Eloise accusing your father of murder? He could be arrested," said Agatha.
Iris frowned, puzzled as to why her father would be arrested. "Wouldn't he only be arrested if there was evidence he killed Uncle Thomas?"
