Brazen Temptress
“Right behind her bustled Lady Mary. Maureen didn't need to look back to know the lady's face was alert and alive, reflecting the activity within the busy shop.
It had taken only the smallest of lies to get the lady to agree to the outing. When Maureen casually suggested that she'd heard from the circles at Almack's that Hatchards was the place to be seen, then Lady Mary declared they needed to visit the illustrious bookshop without further delay.

Truth be told, she looked like a bleedin' bluebell.MoreLess
