"Are you ready, darling? They're here. Remember his name is Earl and he is an earl."

His parents were so creative.

He's the earl. He's the earl. He's the earl.

"God, you are so beautiful, Jess. Inside and out. You're special, you know that?"

Third time's the charm?

Excitement shot through her entire body. She was dizzy with excitement...

"Out? With her partner? Oh, no this could not be, I will have to put a stop to this once and for all. She is to marry someone else and that's that!"

Wait a second. That rhythm. The run on sentences. It all makes sense now!

Jess' mom is Mojo Jojo.

She really hoped they would not contact her now to force her into marrying Mr. nameless aristocrat who was looking for a trophy bride who happened to have a teeny drop of aristocratic blood way down in her family tree, so she'd recently learned.

Good lord, that's a mouthful! I bet his friends just call him "nameless" for short.

(Also, your mother told you his name. Way to be a jerk, Jess.)

She was sure the average person didn't know if horses could swim or not. Maybe she was the only one who didn't know it.

Shhhhh! Nobody let Jessica in on the conspiracy to keep the knowledge of whether or not horses can swim from her!

"Can horses swim?" Jessica's voice rose above the waves as her eyes widened with terror.



I know how to find out.

Oh, God, this was torture.

So he treated her like a lady and seemed to know exactly what she wanted.

So, he's treating her with respect, and is attentive to her needs...but he won't throw himself at her, and take advantage of the fact that a random woman got stuck sharing a room with him?

How DOES Jessica survive this ordeal? *rolls eyes*

Peeved because he didn't make a move on her.

Reading incomplete sentences.
