fredriksewell:“We will expect you for dinner.” Melbourne shook his head. “I think that might be difficult, ma’am. You see, I must go to the House to give a statement about Afghanistan.” He paused. “You will have much to distract you at the castle. There are the trees,” he smiled, “and I am sure Prince Albert will want to see the Windsor collection.” Now it was Victoria’s turn to shake her head. “But I won’t be … comfortable unless you are there, Lord M. You always make things so easy.” Melbourne said gently, “You know, ma’am, I believe you might be surprised at how comfortable you will feel. You seemed to be enjoying yourself very much with the Princes last night.” “But you were there last night!” Victoria’s face took on its most regal cast. “You would come for dinner if we were staying here. I don’t see why Windsor should be any different. I shall expect you.” Melbourne bowed, and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “Is that a command, ma’am?” Victoria looked up at him. “Not a command, but a request for your company. Please, Lord M?” “In that case, ma’am, I can hardly refuse.” -- source link
