"Sir Guy's Dilemma", Ch. 5 (PG-13): A Celebratory Sunday Baptismal Feast Dinner with Intrigues between the Gisborne and Talkington Families
The next day, a week following, it is a lovely Sunday afternoon when Seth and the Lady Helen Rose are presented to the vicar for their baptism in the Middleton chapel on the estate grounds. It is a small affair with just the Gisborne and Talkington Families present--with Lord Archer and Lady Saline serving as god parents for both children. But small affairs must still be celebrated with pomp. So after Seth behaves admirably during his baptism, he is allowed to run and play with his new puppy before dinner. Then Seth actually joins the adults for dinner--since his baptism is the occasion being feted. But the little boy finally runs out of his boundless energy as he slumps over exhausted in his chair. So Seth is put to bed before dessert--his favorite part of the meal.
After the Talkington's and Gisborne's banquet dinner to celebrate the baptisms of Lady Helen Rose and Seth Gisborne, the women repair to the salon and the men walk in the Gisborne's garden.
Lord Talkington: "It is a lovely evening, Sir Guy. And we are delighted to have shared in your family's baptismal celebrations."
Sir Guy: "Thank you, Lord Talkington. You are most kind. I know my Lady Roseanna was especially glad that you could join us since her parents are not alive."
Lord Archer: "Guy, I am proud to be Seth's god parent, Guy. Thank you and Lady Rose, both."
Lord Talkington: "And I know our daughter Lady Saline is also quite touched to be asked to be Lady Helen's godparent." He smiles warmly at Sir Guy,
Sir Guy: "You are most welcome. I know that my Lady Rose thinks of Lady Saline quite as her sister." Sir Guy smiles.
Lord Talkington: "The Middleton and Talkington families have been close for many years and we look forward to the blessed day when Lady Saline and Lord George are joined in marriage." He smiles like the proud papa he is.
Lord Archer: Having listened intently, Archer's brow furrows. He is quite disappointed that Lord Talkington still advances the marriage of his daughter with Lady Roseanna's brother, Lord George Middleton. "Oh? I gathered that Lady Saline has not heard from Lord George for some time. Is their marriage still so certain?" He asks with self interest in mind.
