Abigail
“Abigail, wanting to show off a little, sent in her card, which still read Lady Abigail Stevenson, to the stationmaster. He came out to greet her as if she were royalty—as, indeed, was any son or daughter of John Stevenson in the railway world. John had built many of the lines in Normandy and most of the line between this terminus and Le Havre; indeed, in the early 1840s he could not walk through the streets of Rouen without being pointed out a dozen times. Of course, the stationmaster assured t...hem, he would supervise all the arrangements for their journey and there would be a special coach—the royalty coach—for them. And he would see that the best berth on the cross-channel steamer was made available. They settled their departure for a week that day.
Victor was suitably impressed; she felt highly pleased with herself as they walked over to the cab rank.
Before they were halfway across the concourse they heard a woman’s scream and turned to see a gang of men attacking a young girl and dragging her toward the exit.MoreLess
