“That is something you will enjoy and naturally the Captain and the crew will be very proud to have been chosen to carry the Representative of Great Britain to Greece.”
“I think I ‒ must be ‒ dreaming!” Avila stammered. “This cannot really be ‒ happening to me!”
“It is,” Princess Marigold assured her, “and when you listen to all the long and dreary speeches which those who welcome you will make, you will find it very difficult not to yawn or go to sleep!”
Avila laughed and it was a very pretty sound.
“I am sure, ma’am, you are always clever enough to look as if you are enjoying it all, however dull it may be.”
“That is what I tell myself I should do,” the Princess said, “but I warn you, old men can talk and talk for hours.”
Both Mrs. Grandell and Avila were laughing at this when the door opened.
“May we come in?” the Vicar asked, “or are you still dreaming that you are living on Mount Olympus?”
“Of course that is where we are,” Princess Marigold replied. “For who could doubt that your daughter and I are Goddesses?”
As she spoke, she saw the expression in Prince Holden’s eyes and realised that was how she appeared to him.
She felt a surge of love sweep over her.
‘Even if Queen Victoria discovers our plot and punishes me,’ she told herself, ‘it will be worth the risk if I can be with him!’
