Holiday in Bath
“Every vacant corridor became a potential meeting spot with Cousin Filkins. No matter that she had just left him with her parents in the drawing room, somehow he disengaged himself and appeared like a nightmare as she was turning the corner to her room, leering at her and making familiar comments under the guise of cousinly interest. Because of her disdainful comments on him before his arrival, she did not wish to go to her mother with tales of his behavior; and she would never have considered a...larming her father with the story. Unschooled in how to handle such advances, she tried at first to placate him by turning the subject, and later by escaping by whatever means she could devise. The only place she was safe from him was when she rode, for the aging dandy would not come near a horse and never walked when he could be comfortably settled in a chair before a plate of biscuits.But even if she had wished to, she could not ride all day, and her father admonished her for ignoring their guest when she absented herself for too long.MoreLess
