Diego gave his daughters permission to walk to Alejandro's hacienda. They left at a run, which Victoria sighed at.
"Running won't harm them," Diego said.
"Unladylike," Victoria sighed.
Diego strolled over to the book that had been the focus of the girls' attention. "The History of Tom Jones: A Foundling," Diego murmured, picking it up. "Good grief."
"What is it?"
"One of the most shocking books ever written," Diego said. "My friends and I…discussed it…at University."
"Is it yours?" Victoria said, accusingly.
"It must be," Diego said. "Although I've never read it in earnest."
"Not for girls of impressionable age."
