Amanda Mccabe
“—Antony and Cleopatra Julia turned away to reach for her own teacup, a bit nonplussed.
Before she met the new Lord Ellston (somehow she could not stop thinking of him as the new earl), she had thought he was probably a great prig. A dreadful high stickler. What other kind of person would break with his own father just because that father married an actress? And then to stay away for years!
Julia was not accustomed to priggish people. For that reason, she had not really looked forward to... meeting him at all.
But then, he had not seemed so priggish when she met him in the lane. She had caused him to be thrown from his horse, to fall in the mud and become absolutely filthy. Any other man in his situation would have been furious. And she rather suspected he had been angry at first.
Then he had laughed. He had even flirted with her. He had treated the whole awful scene as a country lark. It had been almost—fun.MoreLess
