An American Duchess
“Preparations for Christmas at Brideswell had begun.
Zoe went downstairs, wearing a long tweed skirt, a cardigan, a scarf around her bobbed hair. She had thrown herself into Christmas decorating. The busywork ensured she had less time to think.

Nigel had insisted she be treated like a delicate patient, but she could not stand lying in bed any longer. If she behaved like an invalid, she had nothing to do but think.
Arms crossed over her chest, Zoe walked from room to room, watching dark green garlands of pine boughs and holly be hoisted up by the maids and footmen and secured over doorways and windows.MoreLess
