It turns out that it was noticed that Olivia was in the presence of a young man and her family intervened to have her charity assignment changed. Olivia is then moved to a new family to deliver food too. And oh how Lyon wants to do more beneath Olivia’s skirts but he is a gentleman so he does not. Our two finally have their kiss and it is electrifying. Olivia was ecstatic to see him and immediately gave him a miniature of herself as an apology for not being more thankful for the gloves. Lyon cannot help thinking about this event while in London and eventually cuts his trip short by a week. Olivia quickly leaves and Lyon is flummoxed. How will I explain how I came to have them? What were you thinking?” I can’t do anything at all with you in public. What am I to do with these? I can’t wear them in public. Olivia though was a thinker and did not accept them with joy. Before he left, he tried to give Olivia a pair of gloves she had mentioned admiring at Postlewaite’s. Things came to head when Lyon was due to go to London to give a proposal to the Mercury Club. No secret kissing, not wild proclamations, just a boy and girl meeting and getting to know each other better. Their courtship mainly consisted of Lyon meeting Olivia on her way to the Duffy family every Tuesday as was her assignment by the Society for the Sussex Poor. He was unaware she was an Eversea and even after he found out, it did not matter. Lyon took one look at Olivia and promptly stole her from her next partner. Olivia Eversea and Lyon Redmond met at a local Sussex ball.
