Chains of Folly (2006)
“The few glances he cast at Magdalene showed her to be perfectly expressionless. Bell had sighed and shaken his head. It would have served no purpose to return.
With Ella free he would not have been able to discuss the woman’s murder with Magdalene and it would have been difficult to explain to Ella why he was not simply walking into Magdalene’s bedchamber to spend the night as he had been doing for months. It would have been hard to explain to his body also. And probably he could have her. All ...he needed was five silver pennies, which was her price. She said she was a whore. Then he could buy her like any other whore.
Only Bell knew that was not true. Magdalene was not for sale to any man. Oddly that thought gave him more comfort than pain, but he pushed it out of his mind and stretched his long legs, cursing himself mildly for walking out the front door of the Guesthouse instead of out the back. Now he would have to walk all around St. Mary Overy priory instead of just going through the gate at the back of Magdalene’s garden, crossing behind the church, the graveyard, out the front gate of the priory, and across the road to Winchester’s house.MoreLess
