Cressida's Dilemma (2015)
“For more than twenty years, she’d bullied Cressida, making her cousin feel small and insignificant. Cressida was too small of stature to command the respect the tall—now gaunt- looking—Catherine received as her due. Cressida’s nose was too small for her little face, though the long shadows cast by the dim firelight tonight turned Catherine’s into a hawk- like proboscis wedged between the hard angles of her cheeks.
Catherine had implied that by extraordinary good fortune, Cressida had snared a j...aded noble on the rebound, although in the happy years that had followed their marriage, Cressida had been able to dismiss Catherine’s jibes.
Yet here Cressida now was, cowering on the Egyptian sofa beside her bullying cousin, having just dismissed her ever-patient, ever-loving husband when any decent wife would have heard him out and any loving wife would have perhaps gone further than that. Instead Cressida had allowed Catherine to hold her hostage in her drawing room in an attempt to poison her mind against Justin.MoreLess
