"So it's really triplets!" Speaking of the triplets, a hint of envy shone in Madam Burton's eyes. "Lady Gregory told us this afternoon at the card game that Ruby went for a prenatal checkup this morning. The hospital discovered that there's a third baby who was hidden behind the other two the whole time, so they never found out."
"It really is triplets. Aunt Gregory must be over the moon."
"Of course she is. She was grinning from ear to ear all afternoon. Just think about it, triplets, what a blessing. Before long, Lady Gregory will have her hands full taking care of three grandchildren. But if I could have triplets, I wouldn't mind being that busy."
As the topic turned to Ruby, Wenny Burton asked curiously, "I remember Ruby isn't married yet, right? Now that she's having triplets and they're almost due, the family should be preparing for the wedding, right?"
