His Lordship's Filly (1993)
“Bridget missed Papa so much that even the distraction of new foods and the fancy furnishings in Andrew’s great dining room couldn’t make her feel better. And the way rich people ate—so much food and so many different utensils to eat it with—was ridiculous. Who ever heard of a special spoon just to eat soup? And there was enough food in the dishes the footman offered her to fill the stomachs of several country families.
She was going to ask Andrew about such waste. Why did the rich have such pec...uliar habits? Didn’t they think about other people at all? But Andrew seemed distracted, hardly talking. The meal was scarcely over before the butler Purvey appeared to announce, “Blackburn to see you, milord.” And Andrew excused himself and went off into his study with the stranger.
She wandered around the library, admiring all the books that were now hers to read—if she wanted to. She would read them someday, but she couldn’t settle down tonight. She couldn’t sit still, let alone concentrate on reading anything.MoreLess
