Ah, I liked this a lot. Melancholy without being overbearing. Marie's interesting too; I always like reading about her.

“No, no,” said Edward, becoming misleadingly solemn. “It isn’t at all the same unless you have to have at least one picnic on the beach in the rain.”

How very...English. XD

Thank you! :-)

I'm not channeling any childhood memories at all here, no. :loL: (I suspect it's not so much English/British as just that we get plenty of rain; I'm sure other people have their own variantions on the "we're on holiday so we're going to have fun if it kills us". My family just always went in for the picnics where we forgot half the food, trying to pretend in photos that there wasn't a gale and building sandcastles on the beach in the rain.)
