Curse of the Gypsy
“Lady Darkefell was unhappy that Anne was to accompany them to their estate, the proof of her feelings evident in her frozen and bitter opposition to the forced confinement of a three-day journey in a closed carriage with another woman.
It was an inconvenience, she muttered to Julius, though Anne could easily hear her. It was rude of Lady Anne to push herself where she was not wanted, she implied. They would be crammed in the carriage like a … like she didn’t know what. How could Lady Darkefell,... Lady Anne, Therese (the marchioness’s French abigail), and Mary, Anne’s abigail, all fit comfortably?
Determined to be conciliatory, Anne took Darkefell aside and offered to forgo having Mary accompany her on the journey north, but the marquess was adamant. She was to have every comfort possible, no matter what his mother said. But in turn Anne was inflexible. Where Mary went, so went her son, Robbie. Darkefell solved the contretemps by swiftly hiring another carriage from a nearby livery; the luggage, along with Therese and Mary, accompanied by Wee Robbie, would travel in that equipage.MoreLess
