He nodded.  "The heart before the brain got a young woman dead once before.  You are worth doing things rightly.  This courting thing is already in action.  The next part would be a proposal with a proper announcement of the engagement."  He watched her face to see if she liked how that sounded. 

"I would want a true family home.  This one doesn't have enough bedrooms for three children."  He explained.  "Once they get old enough they will want their own rooms wouldn't they?  I was not always an only child.  I barely remember before we loss my older sister, but I kind of remember we each had our own rooms."  He frowned trying to remember but it was so vague in his head. 

"Cress had siblings though I am I am pretty sure they would have killed each other if they shared rooms."  He chuckled.  "Some siblings can be full of love but also quite mischievous."

"I have been thinking of a future with you.  Don't think I haven't.  I just want to be sure this is a house for a family.  Our family.  The drawing room is huge, and that reception room is plenty big enough for that kind of thing.  I could redo the drawing-room closing off the reception room to that area.  Then across the side inside wall make a hallway for two or three small bedrooms.  That would make for four bedrooms total counting the one next to the nursery."  He suggested wondering if that would be a good idea.  "Or I could have a whole new house built back further the property."
