An unsettled Brian approaches and briefly joins them. He questions their meeting and Lynda covers by saying Martyn’s volunteering to help at the Harvest Supper. Brian quips about Lynda’s ridiculous dog field proposals.
Elizabeth wonders if Lily would like to invite Harrison to Lower Loxley for Vince’s party. Lily thinks it might be too complicated with Jolene and Kenton attending. She’s tired of the local gossip. Later, whilst waiting for Harrison with a mojito on the Grey Gables terrace, Lily thanks Ian for defending her against the staff teasing. When Harrison arrives, Lily says she’s no longer bothered about being spotted with him. How would he like to come to Vince’s party? She’d understand if he didn’t want to, but Harrison doesn’t want to miss seeing her, nor the chance to see her in a party dress, so the answer is yes.
