cricket; some are better at this game than others

He surveys the field space briefly, trying to keep his eyes from scanning the faces in the sidelines. While his uncle Lefroy works to set up the cricket 'court', Tom stands alone, his eyes half-squinting in the sunlight

Jane is trying not to sigh at Henry and the Countess flirting, sometimes Henry seems like he's far too young around her.

She notes Tom..Mister Lefroy watching and gives a nod to him and a smirk as she nods towards Henry and the Countess.

Tom catches her glance in his direction, then follows her eyes to Henry and the Countess.

Ah, yes. Just as he'd expected.

He shoots her a slightly amused look in return.

She sighs rather dramatically to hide her almost laughter as the Countess leans in to help Henry with his shirt. When the giggles are a bit too much she stands up to walk the pitch and simply grins as she approaches him,

"At times I do wonder at how old my brother truly is, Mister Lefroy."

"He's simply having a bit of fun," Tom replies easily, bowing his head politely in greeting.

"Though it appears your friend the Countess is enjoying the attention just as much as he."
