Everyone under the canopy was stunned by what they had witnessed that it left them dazed for a few seconds after the two children had stopped moving.
*Claps*
The sound of the clapping of hands brought them back to their senses as they turned towards the source of the applause.
At the corner of the canopy, they found the old maid who took care of the daughter of the St. Claire's family clapped her hands in celebration of the victory of her Miss.
Feeling the multiple pairs of eyes aimed at her, Mrs. Jacinth realized what she had done and stopped clapping as she lowered her head in apology for acting out of turn.
'I was overjoyed to see Young Miss' victory that I forgot all rules of propriety.' She cursed her eager heart for committing this offense in the presence of not only the Earl and Countess but also the other noblemen.
