A Baron for Becky
“Mama had carried Mrs Darling off for a private interview. His alarm propelled him up the stairs to retrieve her, but by the time he reached Mama’s room, she was alone.
“I hope you did not frighten Mrs Darling, Mama,” he grumbled.
What had Mama said to Mrs Darling? What had Mrs Darling said to Mama?
The duchess just laughed, patted his cheek, and told him he was a naughty boy.
“Now off with you, dearest, and let this old woman seek her bed.”
Rose must have gone to bed herself, for she was nowher...e to be found, and didn’t appear again until just before the duchess left in the morning.
Her Grace went down the line, enfolding each of them in a perfumed hug.
“Take care, now, Anne,” she said to the countess. “You must eat wisely and exercise a little each day.”
“Let me know if you hear from David,” she told Rede. “Jonathan always falls on his feet, but I cannot help but be a little anxious.”
She hugged Mrs Darling next, and Mrs Darling looked as surprised as Aldridge.MoreLess
