Sarah put pen to paper to write in her careful flowing script.

Why I should not even contemplate marriage to Lord Faringdon

1. It would be accepting an offer of charity.

2. He has an undesirable reputation as a rake. It would not be a respectable marriage.

3. What is Lord Faringdon’s reason for his proposal?

4. I have nothing of my own to bring to this marriage.

5. He does not love me.

These were very strong arguments, Sarah was forced to agree. So she would refuse Lord Faringdon’s kind but inexplicable offer. Which decision caused her to pick up her ill-treated pen once more and a clean sheet of paper.

Why I should accept the offer and become Lady Joshua Faringdon

1. Security.

2. Beth—I would enjoy a daughter.

3. I can renew my friendship with Judith and Simon.

Then Sarah pursed her lips. She had said she would only marry again for love. For nothing less. With a sharp inhalation she rubbed ink from her fingers. Then, before she could change her mind, she wrote:

4. I love him.
