Plymouth's Rock a serial by Kathy Neise

This serial is a throwback to 19th Century romance novels. It tells of the trials and tribulations of relationships and of how the two leading characters attempt to reconcile their differences to their love for each other. 

Dawdling Over Breakfast - Althia slowly cut into her eggs and pork. She dawdled on purpose. She knew she had to call on Lady Chanceler today and she had little desire to go. Althia gazed out the glass doors that separated her breakfast nook from the outside and watched the wind tousle the grasses as if mimicking the waves upon the ocean. Faintly, the sound of waves crashing against the rocks a mere half a mile from where she was sitting could be heard. At least it will be a lovely day for traveling, she thought to herself as she slowly brought a forkful to her mouth. Plymouth, this time of year, could masquerade storms behind such beauty, but she observed that there was not a cloud in the sky.
