But never mind, because Edward! My brother, I'm - I'm really so happy for you! I've always wanted you to be in love!
[SHE'S SO BLUNT]
[SHE'S SO BLUNT]
[She's just rubbing her cheek on his shoulder.]
It's well and truly spring, in my heart now as well... Oh, how lovely all this is. I always knew you'd be particularly gallant toward the woman you'd some day court, and I wasn't wrong at all!

—Is she staying here without having been courted? [This, at least, is practically under her breath, almost awestruck.]

Not a heathen! I was just - surprised?! You're not often forward, unless you're angry... [Then he's forward.]
I'm not judging you. Remember I've even stayed overnight in Kent, but Mother trusted me not to be illicit. Just like you would never be illicit. And I don't think Lady Nightray would, either. I'm very glad to have her in fact, and I wouldn't let anyone say anything foul about the two of you! I just didn't know if... [She squirms.] There was anything you weren't telling me. If you were quite shy about it. Because you can't be! It's the most beautiful thing in the world!
Anyway, I don't see how a lady could reject a potential suitor like you. Girls dream of a husband like you would be, brother.

Oh, my brother.
Shall I talk with her, woman to woman?

Oh!; you shouldn't be so affrighted. Even Father had to seek Mother, didn't he? [Though their courtship was rather more... intense.] Edward, you'll never know anything if you don't ask.
Well, you don't need to right this moment, I suppose. Just do keep it in mind, won't you?

Of course. [She has the presence of mind to sober.] I just... I want this for you.
Well wouldn't it be lovely?! A real and true lady to speak my heart with... A bosom friend! Lady Nightray feels like a bright autumn morning, she has that sort of atmosphere, it's classy... It would be sooooooo nice to have a big sister!
Surely so...!
You would be happy, wouldn't you?
You would be happy, wouldn't you?
[Ah. She knows this part... very, very well. It makes her heart hurt.]
You'll see it, brother. You'll see her happiness and you'll know it was worth everything. I can't wait for that, for you.

[Lizzie covers her mouth with both hands and giggles in her giddiness, but nods.] Not even the littlest peep! [she swears, practically lightheaded with excitement now.]
