A Little Thing Called Love
“That book was not her father’s to do with as he wished. She had an obligation to Mr. Morris to see it safely returned to Sir David’s library.
She also knew the pitfalls of raising a fuss. Her father would ask questions. He could be capricious. If he discovered she’d sneaked out of the house to go to Sir David’s library, he might shrug, or he might interpret her actions as an affront to his authority. He could even take out his displeasure on Lorry and Mandy, and Jenny definitely didn’t wish... that to happen.
The truth was, she didn’t know her father well. He’d been gone most of her life. Military duties had taken him to foreign shores. He’d made only rare appearances until he’d retired from military service.
She decided her best choice was to bide her time.
Consequently, on the coach ride to Lord and Lady Nestor’s musicale, she was quiet. Her sisters, too, were silent. Serena had dried her tears, but her air was melancholy.MoreLess
