Chapter 12

Lily is becoming good friends with Bertha, mainly because Bertha needs someone to distract her husband while she flirts with Ned, but Lily is ok with this because this arrangement keeps her in good social standing. Gus is becoming increasingly possessive of Lily. Judy hadn't yet invited Lily back to Bellamont, so Lily was worried Judy had heard the rumors about her and Gus, but Lily asked Judy about it and was immediately invited. While there though, Lily realized she was being scrutinized so tried her best to stay away from Gus. Once she gets back to town, the Brys are having a party with live art, meaning beautiful fashionable ladies posing. Lily is chosen as one of the women. Selden goes and realizes that he loves Lily. He sneaks out to the garden with her, kisses her, and tells her this, but Lily says he shouldn't tell her that and runs away. Selden then goes back inside, and hears Gus being posessive again saying Lily shouldn't put her beauty on display for everyone like that.
