Ch 5
Felicity had felt better after had made up with her father. But she was still planning on going after William.
" So who am I allowed to marry father?" she asked.
" I have just the person in mind, one of the Generals is an eligible bachelor." He said.
" What is his name?" She asked. Better safe than sorry.
" General Charles O'Hara." Her father smiled proudly.
" Is it possible for me to come to the fort with you tomorrow?"
" Well, I don't want Tavington to see you, he might-" She cut him off.
" Please don't deny me another chance at true happiness." She begged.
General Madison hesitated she could see her plan was working.
" Well I guess if you promise to be careful, men would gladly take advantage of you." He said at last.
" Oh thank you! I love you." She exclaimed kissing him on the cheek before he left her to get her rest.
The next day she woke at dawn and put on William's favorite dress. It was deep burgundy with lace at the neck, hem and belled sleeves. He asked her to wear it the day he proposed to her. It was a sack back gown with attitude. It really showed off her upper body nicely. She planned to follow her father in then while he wasn't looking she would sneak out to the gardens and around to the officers tents.
" Felicity, are you decent?" Caitlin asked.
" Yes come in." She replied.
" Oh you look wonderful." Caitlin gasped as she saw her sister.
" I'm going to the fort today."
Caitlin shut the door behind her and locked it.
" You're going to see him aren't you?" Caitlin said.
Felicity nodded and sat down as Caitlin took up the curler and added tight spirals to her sister's hair.
" Be careful, I wish I could go just to keep father occupied but I have to stay here and help here."
Caitlin fastened her sister's pearl chocker around her neck.
" Thank you Cate." Felicity said.
" You're welcome." Caitlin smiled.
Felicity embraced her sister before grabbing her hat and fan.
" Lord knows what I'd do without you."
" I think you would do just fine, now go and make your dreams come true." Caitlin smiled.
Felicity stepped out of her room and descended the stairs not before she bumped into John.
" Father says you're moving on." He always tried to act like the head of the household.
" What I do is my business and none of yours, John." She snapped.
He pouted and finished going up to his room.
She had barely even made it half way when she was stopped again, by Robert.
" Hey Lissie I heard you're going to the fort!" He said enthusiastically.
" If I even make it to the door." She said through gritted teeth.
" Well don't mind me but say tell me if the men are practicing, I'd go with you but I have to set up my soldiers. Cara borrowed my wooden sword and knocked over all the ranks. Anyway don't let me hold you up." And finally he let her pass.
She sighed as she finally got to the bottom of the stairs.
" Lissie good luck." Her mother smiled.
And she finally stepped outside and with her father's help into the carriage and they were on their way.
(takes breath) I hope that keeps you happy for a while!
