"Poor little thing! She is very wee and frail, isn't she? Only two months old. We came away from the north, as soon as I was able to travel. She is called Lily." I remembered Horace having once told me that his mother's name had been Lilias.
"Lily is such a romantic name. It sounds to me like soft music; it's the sort of name to make one dream of fanciful things." Lily smiled. "It's my grandmother's name. Coincidence, maybe, but she grew the most beautiful lilies."
