Chapter 5

So. Sunday Morning at Bellamont. The goodie-goodies are heading off to church, a group that of course includes Percy Gryce. Lily was thinking this could be the perfect opportunity to finally get him to propose, because what makes a man want to marry a woman more than seeing her in modest clothing praying at church? Thats right – nothing. Except, Lily ruined that plan because she wanted to sleep instead. She convinced herself that it was all good because now Percy will just miss her and then love her even more when they walk later. So Lily goes downstairs and runs into Seldon and Bertha in the library, obviously interrupting something. Lily says she is walking to church and leaves really mad that Seldon obviously came for Bertha. On her way to church, Seldon catches up to her and they start flirting. Then they see the company that actually went to church approaching on their way back and Seldon asks Lily to walk with him later. Even though she already made plans to walk with Percy. Sounds scandalous.
