A Place for Repentance (The Underwood Mysteries book 6)
“Gil had stayed for several days after their return from Dacorum-in-the-Marsh, eager to see his brother and catch up on all his news, filling the house with his wife and sons. Officially Gil was still vicar of Hanbury, as well as being the Rural Dean, but in recent months he had been forced to spend more time at his other residence in Derby, convenient for the Bishop to discuss church affairs with him. This meant that the vicarage in Hanbury had been empty and needed airing and warming thoroughl...y before the family could be comfortable there again. Cara would not, for anything, risk the health of her beloved boys by allowing them to sleep in damp beds.
They left eventually for Brighton to visit the Earl and Countess, arranging to return via Bath to collect their mother and step-father, in plenty of time for Jeremy James’ celebration and promising to invite their parents to stay at the vicarage, which should be habitable again by then. As Gil solicitously remarked, poor Verity could not be expected to provide hospitality to an endless stream of visitors.MoreLess
