Ashworth Hall
“She told Pitt she was going to visit Vespasia.
“Now?” he said incredulously.
“Yes. There are things with which I think she may be able to help.” She could not tell him what. If he pressed her, she would have to invent something.
“What about Emily?” he argued. “She needs you here. She’s terrified for Jack. And with reason.” He stopped suddenly. “I think you should be here.”
“I’ll come straight back.” She would not be persuaded out of it. The scene with Eudora was sharp in her min...d. If she were going to fight, she needed to talk with someone first, and Vespasia was the only person who might understand. She felt just as vulnerable as Eudora or Emily, although for entirely different reasons. “I won’t be long,” she promised, then kissed him quickly on the cheek and turned and left.
Emily was occupied, which was excellent. Charlotte left a message with Gwen.MoreLess
