Not Your Typical Picnic Fare


One afternoon, as Melissa stepped into the hallway following another dreadful tea, John strolled from the music room and ordered Bryga to pack a supper basket

“I’m taking Mrs. Simons on a picnic,” he said. “We won’t return for dinner.”

Bryony, Chapter 24: "It's No Uuse"



Melissa is thrilled when John finally invites her to a picnic away from the mansion, just the two of them. Of course, John feels Bryga packed enough food to feed them for a week, but even that careless remark couldn’t completely dampen Melissa’s excitement of being alone with John.
