Day Dreamer
“You can say that for her.”
Edward Lang slipped out of his coat and hung it in the standing closet on the side wall of the room he shared with Foster Arnold. Years ago, when they had first arrived with their young charge, Henre Moreau had banished them to one of the former slave quarters in an outbuilding that housed the kitchen. A second room was shared by Peony, the old slave who oversaw the cooking, and her daughter. Moreau obviously thought the two servants would be dismayed by the cramped q...uarters and lack of privacy. They found the arrangement perfect.
“I think she may be just the wife our Cordero needs.” Foster took off his coat and handed it to Edward, who began to meticulously brush lint off the wool fabric.
Foster had liked the girl on sight, taken as he was by her bohemian looks and spirited quality. He thought the way she kept insisting she was not Jemma O’Hurley was quite humorous, really. She was certainly not at all like any of the fashionable Creole women old Henre might have chosen for his grandson.MoreLess
