Regency Romp - Happy Christmas Mr Jones (Regency Romps) (6 page)

             
‘Nothing, except to keep kissing me,’ she said.  ‘Mama never told me what marriage was all about but you won’t mind showing me – will you?’

             
‘I shall be delighted to teach you all you need to know.’  He touched her cheek, smiling down into her eyes.  ‘My innocent little love, I would have you no other way.  Are you sure there is nothing more?’

             
‘We shall have to tell my uncle – and Jane - the good news.’

             
‘Later,’ he said and held the mistletoe over her head once more.  ‘I am so grateful to Mr Jones for giving us such a wonderful present.’

             
‘Yes, it was kind of him,’ Lydia said and giggled, because she suddenly knew that everything would be all right.  Tomas would look after her and Jane would be happy.  ‘I think we should wish him a Happy Christmas don’t you?’

             
‘I quite agree,’ he said, pausing to gaze down at her.  ‘Happy Christmas, Mr Jones – and now I want to kiss the lady who has just consented to be my wife.’

             
Lydia smiled contentedly, because she was very happy to oblige.

             
Happy Christmas, Mr Jones, she thought but was too busy kissing to say the words.  It seemed a little bit of kindness had brought happiness to so many people at this wonderful time of year.  In the New Year there would be two weddings, hers and Jane’s.

             
She hoped that Mary and Annabel would find husbands soon and be as happy as she and her sister already were…

I hope you have enjoyed this little bit of Christmas nonsense and look forward to writing some more Regency Romps in the future.
