" My dear Colin. I have some wonderful news for you. We are expecting our first child in June of 1921." Lady Mary exclaims.
" We are young Lady Mary. I think we can space our children out.'" Lord Colin explains " I don't want to lose you as I lost my late mother giving birth to me. "
" I don't know about my Aunt Lady Lily Lord Colin but I am sure she didn't mean to die after she brought you into the world." Lady Mary exclaims.
" You are here to carry on the Craven name and it will continue through our son." Lady Mary states.
" I have chosen the name Lord Matthew Colin Craven for our son." Lady Mary exclaims.
" We can wait until 1926 to try again for second child. We don't want our child to be an only child." Lady Mary exclaims " I always wanted a sister or brother but my own late mother was a silly, shallow and vain woman." Lady Mary admits.
This is the first time Lord Colin ever heard Lady Mary talk about her mother.
Lady Mary only had vague memories of her late mother and had few memories of her late father Colonel Albert Lennox.
