"My good wife, Lady Dorothy and I only had two daughters, Lady Penelope and Lady Lettice, and as you know Lady Lettice married Lord Edward David Christopher Beck, Viscount of Elmhurst Estate. " Lord Edward explains.

"My daughter, Lady Lettice and Lord Edward David Christopher have just married and they have decided to wait in having any children." Lord Edward explains.
