She sigh and put a hand on her shoulder.
I am sorry, maman, to hadn't tell you earlier ... I did plan to tell you while paying you a visit at Fontanay castle, but I felt so nervous, I didn't have see you since a so long time and even our contacts by letters was rares ... I did always postpone the things ...
She admit humbly and add.
In more, as I said, I have remain without news of him for a very very long time and did start to imagine all that you can guess ... I wasn't sure that he did still want to marry him, so I did wait for news of him, in silence, hope and pain. And I have recieve this letter today that have reassure me totally about his affections and intentions toward me, so I tell you.

Looking in her mother's eyes, she can see that her mind is escaping far away, her face talking a dreamy air, she guess that she must recall of her own love life of the past with her father, thinking to him too with love and admiration, she ask her on a soft tone.
You are thinking to papa, aren't you ?
She smile and nodd.
Yes indeed, I will certainly know more very soon ... I am very glad that you know now and I hope that he will come soon and you will get well with him.

Nan was listening and watching them in silence. They were talking about their family things, their houses, lives.. She envied them all cause she never had such a family. Her parents died when she was 16 and she was away from home. She never had such a big house, maids, servants.. She didnt have siblings to talk about their marriage or something. She drank from delicious wine. She caught Emilie's mothers eyes on her and smiled back kindly. She didnt know what to say

"Hm," she continued," Yes, I am thinking of your father. It's such a shame; Olympe shall never meet him. Oh, your father would have adored her," she replied. She crossed her legs, and nodded at Emilie. Then, Cecile tapped her fingers on the table, and looked at Lady Saville. What was she thinking? "My lady, are you alright," she asked.

Looking at her mother's face, she can see that she seem careful, even maybe suspicious about Elizabeth, probably wondering about this woman, totally unknow for her, who can tell to be Olympe's grandmother also, she smile and tell her.
I am sure that you are very curious about her, but you will soon be able to know and maybe even encounter a few others members of Olympe's paternal family, we will see.

What about going to the lake's shore ? it's one of my favourites places around castle and it's even more beautiful at twilight and seen the hour, we should have the luck to attend it !
She reflect to take her daughter with them, then she recall that it will be bed time for her and add to her mother.
But now, it's time tor put our little Olympe to go to bed. Her nanny can care of it, but I try to do it by myself as much as possible, it's my little special moment with her. You can follow us to her bedroom and partipicate if you want, it's should take maximum half an hour and then we would go outdoor for take our walk. Or either you can wait for me somewhere where I would join later, what do you prefer ?
She glance to her little girl and smile, a tender air on her face.
