Rose stood by a window watching as a visitor for Anna departed the manor. It was the same man Anna danced with at the ball and seeing that he came frequently, he was likely the man Anna wanted to marry.
Rose didn't know what to make of him since they had not spoken and she still felt it was too soon for Anna to decide to marry him.
"What are you looking at?" Alexander asked, going to Rose's side to join in looking out the window.
"Anna's suitor is leaving. I have been hearing that she is doing well this season. I am glad that what is happening in the kingdom is not affecting her pick of a husband," said Rose.
Alexander turned from the window to the book Rose held in her hands. "While she is busy with suitors I am always seeing you with a book or your mother by your side tutoring you. Is it a good read?"
