Roger slept in fits and starts waking at times to listen to the nighttime noises that abound in a large country house. The hoot of an owl, the whispering sound of bats in flight and the scampering mice keeping clear of the two fat stable cats.
Each time he woke the question of Clarissa's pubic hair and what to do about it came into his head, then he realised he was making too much of it, he had no idea how bushy she was and it wasn't the sort of thing one should be asking his bride the day before their wedding. He doubted that Clarissa was thinking of him like that, she would be more concerned with his size. He couldn't help smiling as he remembered when his manhood had pressed against her thigh, unmistakably aroused yet she had not batted an eyelid. No, he would not mention his thoughts to anyone and accept Clarissa as she was.
As he dressed he happened to look out of the window and saw Clarissa crouched low over Thunder's neck with her long blonde locks flowing out behind her. For the briefest of moments his heart lurched, was she running from him yet again? No sooner had the thought flashed through his mind that it had gone, unconsciously his brain had come to the conclusion that Clarissa would have left in the early hours as she had left Fernwood manor before. Besides, she had declared her love for him and he knew that untruths did not come easily to her.
He went down for breakfast and found Lady Lovelace already started, he greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and laughed as she offered the other one with a devilish smile. 'What now?' he wondered, What other devilish thing did she have in mind for him?
She wouldn't tell him now, she wanted Clarissa to return and have her breakfast then she would reveal her surprise for them both. When Clarissa joined them a short while later Roger got to his feet and ignoring her proffered cheek in greeting he hugged her and gave her the longest good morning kiss in recent history.
"Clarissa dearest, Ada, Lady Lovelace says she has a surprise for us both, have you any inkling as to what it might be?"
"No, she doesn't so you can stop your questioning, I want you both here after lunch at Two o' clock sharp and then all will be revealed." She chuckled as she gave that devilish secret smile again, looking very pleased with herself.
