Oh good, that was one less awkward situation - hovering on a doorway waiting for his wife to get ready. He stepped aside giving her ample room to pass him into the hallway. As they turned to go down the hallway, Everett could have sworn he heard the lock of her door again. A corner of his mouth quirked upward. Impressive.

"No, I've never had the time." Everett admitted, holding his arm out to Verity to escort her, after all it seemed the type of thing a husband should do. "But several friends of mine recommended it." And not just business connections. He did have a few friends from school who had traveled before returning to Britian.

"Have you had the chance to travel?" Given the fact that she was fairly young and her family had given her no dowry, he didn't think this particularly likely, but it did seem rude to assume such a thing.
