WR - Marriage

[Dennis J Dolan]

But, can the Lady Rosina brew and cook?   She of course must know these
things as well as the gentler arts of sewing and embroidery,  how else
will she be able to be the mistress and key holder of the home and
servants that Ld James shall bestow upon her?  Is Lord James able to bake
the bread of the home when called upon, as it takes a man to bake and a
woman to brew?  

And of course inquiring minds need to know what the Brides price and
Dowery will be.

That they will be wed is certain, but, gifts must be given and received.

Sir Doran
