“I know. I’m trying to keep him from being spoiled with two women fawning over him.”
Delores grinned. “That’s a hard job.”
“I know. I upset Molly today. She hasn’t forgiven me yet, but she will.”
“How do you know that?” Delores wanted to know.
“Because Molly can’t hold a grudge. It goes against her very nature. You know that.”
“Yes, but I don’t want you taking advantage of her!”
“So you want Toby spoiled?” Richard demanded.
“No. He’s a fine little boy. Susan did a good job.”
“Yes, she did. But it would be easy for him to get spoiled in this house.”
Delores sighed. “I suppose you’re right, but try not to offend Molly. I don’t want her to leave.”
“I know. Toby and Mom say the same thing. But none of you has come up with a way for Molly to stay.”
“I have,” Delores said. “You just marry her!”
“Don’t be—” He stopped as he heard footsteps behind him. He spun around and saw Molly entering the kitchen. “Molly!” Had she heard Delores’s comment? He searched her face and saw no reaction. Feigning innocence, he asked, “What are you up to?”
“I thought I might see if Delores needs any help again today.”
The cook smiled. “No, I don’t, but I appreciate the thought. Louisa should be here at two o’clock to help prepare dinner.”
“She had a long weekend, didn’t she?” Molly said with a smile.
“Yes. Her sister got married yesterday.”
“How nice.”
“Yes, it is. Do you like weddings?”
“Yes. I’ve only been to a couple, but they always fill me with optimism. You can see the hope on everyone’s face.”
“Half the marriages today end in divorce,” Richard said.
