Wow, this book is going quickly!
I have to introduce a new label: adopted pet. This refers to the bedraggled pets that Betts characters adopt. These pets are always handy for establishing a character as thoughtful and caring. Betts heroines have been known to adopt pets even when they are very poor. Araminta finds this one on the doorstep of the cottage, which they visit in this chapter. In this case, the pet serves as something for Vicky to mock when she comes over, and for Jason to defend.
Araminta continues to be in love with Jason, and at the very end of the chapter, he realizes he's in love with her.
I have quite a bit more to say about this chapter - well, two long comments, which I feel would be better in separate posts.
