Later that same morning...
They had quickly gotten dressed and kissed goodbye. As Elsie sat there wondering how her life had gotten so good. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Who is it?"
"Beryl."
"Come in." Beryl entered with a tea tray. She and Lady Mary are the only ones who found out. Lady Mary was first to find out because she saw them in Ripon coming out of the register's office. She said she would gladly keep the secret for us.
"So what did you and Charles do that took so long this morning after breakfast?"
Elsie blushed furiously and said, "Nothing married people can't do."
"Aaahhh," and with that she left. Tea tray left forgotten.
