Bindingpassion (2013)
“Music floated across the lawn from a group of local serfs piping and plucking with more enthusiasm than skill. Fortunately a more talented group of traveling minstrels would play later.
The hundred or more people already gathered on the grass in front of the manor sang, laughed, shouted, and talked. A few were already dancing, practicing the steps in preparation for more serious efforts later.
Mary’s heart lightened as she circulated among the people gathered there, asking about families, babie...s, marriages, elders, crops, and other news. As her mother had, she tried to keep up with the concerns of their serfs, but she’d been neglecting the job ever since the arrival of Sir Benwyck changed her life so dramatically. It was time to catch up again.
But even more than their own concerns, all wanted to talk about their new lord. She was bombarded with questions about him, making her realize how little she actually knew about Sir Philip as she tried to respond to the curiosity. Through her own answers, she also realized how much doubt she still harbored about him.MoreLess
