The Six Month Marriage
“‘Emma is over her cold. She will be here at the end of next week.’ Madeline picked up the letter and read it with pleasure.
It seemed she was finally going to meet her sister-in-law.
She had had some qualms about imposing on Emma’s credibility, but Philip had seemed unconcerned. He had told her that she was not deceiving anyone: that she really was his wife; that she was in fact Emma’s sister-in-law; and therefore need have no guilty conscience about being introduced as such.
At last Madeline h...ad come to see it from Philip’s point of view. She was indeed the Countess of Pemberton, and as she did not want Emma to be burdened with a true account of their marriage, she felt it was better to do as Philip suggested, allowing Emma to enjoy meeting her new sister-in-law.
And Madeline was concerned that Emma should enjoy herself. She wanted to make sure that Emma’s time in Yorkshire was happy. Indeed, if she had really been Philip’s wife, his true wife, she would have suggested that Emma should come and live with them.MoreLess
