Two weeks were spent in peace, Margret had relaxed so much over the short time. Not running a home had opened her up to other things she had had little time to do. She sat at the piano in the music room and began to play. The music filled her senses as she played and lost herself to it.

Finishing the piece she heard clapping and opened her eyes. Sir John and another man had entered as she played. "Wonderful, my dear, absolutely wonderful."

"Thank you, uncle," Margret said standing and giving a slight curtesy. "It's been a year. I had forgotten."

"Nonsense," Sir John assured, giving the woman a grin. He remembered the man next to him. "This is my dear friend, Colonel Brandon. Brandon, my younger brother's daughter, Miss Margret Middleton."

"You play very beautifully, Miss Middleton," the Colonel said after he bowed to her.

"Thank you, Colonel."
