Hearing Jane Sampson say this, Old Master Carter's expression changed.
One could say he was very astonished.
And very shocked.
After all, in the past, he had held Heather Black as a child; the little lass was very beautiful. But Old Master Carter never thought that as an old man he's still here, yet that little lass had already left for so many years.
The impermanence of life.
And hearing Jane Sampson's husband's surname, Old Master Carter could more or less guess a bit.
The lass's son took the surname Black, so Heather Black must have married the wrong person.
Old Master Carter didn't ask further, but Old Madam Carter started chatting with Jane Sampson about other things.
When Jane Sampson came to visit, Gwendolyn Young was very happy, so she had the nanny prepare a large table of dishes, many of which were Jane Sampson's favorites.
At the table, whether deliberately or not, no one mentioned Jillian Carter.
