"Olivia! It is good to hear your brothers are well. They're so very interesting, and I can only hope that Lucas would be kind enough to show us his book of sketches," Ella said after having a small cake herself. A thought struck her then and she grinned at both girls in turn, waving her hand excitedly for a moment. "Do you think Lucas would sketch us, the three of us together? We would be such a lovely subject for him to put in his book, don't you think? Patience, you would have to wear your new necklace if we were to sit for him. Have you seen it, Olivia? Isn't it gorgeous?"
Ella helped herself to some tea, adding a touch of honey as she always did. Lucas Blake was so very handsome, and being a talented artist made him intriguing.
