A Second Chance for Murder
“Like a scolded child, Thora went upstairs to her room sulking and threw herself across her bed. Luckily Lord Huntscliff had chosen to stop at the front steps of the manor to wait for his colleague, Mason, who had lagged behind. It had spared her the further humiliation of Huntscliff witnessing her upbraiding. She could imagine him jesting to his colleague of the drastic action he was compelled to take to keep her tongue still.
