Beatrice Goes to Brighton (2011)
“Lady Caroline Lamb on Lord Byron Hannah was delighted with her new residence. She could now look out at the sea all day long if she pleased. But first, the apartment badly needed cleaning. Hannah donned an apron and covered her hair with a mob-cap and set to work until everything was gleaming and shining. As she worked, she thought ruefully that she must do something with Benjamin.
Benjamin appeared to think that a footman’s only duties were to stand behind the mistress’s chair and carry he...r letters. Hannah had sent him out two hours ago to deliver a letter to Lord Alistair Munro. She knew he was probably strolling about the streets with his hands in his pockets. It was evident he had learned nothing while he had been in service to Lady Carsey. Probably, while he was in favour, she had made a pet of him.
Her thoughts turned to what she would wear to the ball. She would need to go out that very day and find Brighton’s most modish dressmaker and hope that there was some ball gown already made up which had not been collected by the lady who had ordered it.MoreLess
