Jane had been expecting him and had tried to dress adequately so as to please him visually. She knew that Jack had told her that Carwood would appreciate her regardless, but it did not quell her worries. She had settled upon a deep-blue dress that fell lightly mid-thigh and created a v-neck effect and for once had set her corset aside for more modern wear.

That she would wear something special for him was thrilling, and if he could barely take his eyes of her usually, he certainly couldn't now.
