BENJAMIN LOVED BEING THE ELDEST. he had beat hester into the world by a margin of a couple of minutes. despite them sharing a birthday it was clear that when you got into the weeds he was the true eldest. which meant that he took his duty very seriously. while he knew that both he and hester were on the marriage mart, there was certainly no one who had enticed him yet. "mama," he said, lounging in one of the drawing room chairs. "how did you know father was the one? or even have an inkling that he was the one you should marry."
