Can you tell when the following is supposed to take place?
Much to her surprise, over the course of her stay in Salzburg, Elsa Schrader had come to appreciate the countryside’s serenity. So lovely and peaceful! Sometimes, when Georg’s children were running about, she might even have wished for a bit more peace and quiet. At this moment, however, things were a little too quiet, so quiet that she could hear the lake lapping at the shore.
She forced her gaze back to Georg’s haughty, austere profile, half-afraid of what she would see there. Not that there was anything to be afraid of, not from a slip of a girl, a flibbertigibbet really, who by her own account would soon be on her way back to Nonnberg Abbey.
But Georg’s eyes remained pinned on the door that had just slammed shut behind the little governess.
It seemed like an awfully long time before he turned back toward her at last, smiling, and reached for her hand.
