Lady Anne And the Howl in the Dark
“Mary said, “D’you think you weren’t observed?” Her rolled r’s rippled with laughter. “In the servants’ hall they’re a’chatterin’ about the master’s behavior. E’en though Ivy Lodge is Lady Darkefell’s domain, make no mistake, milady, the marquess is still master. They daren’t cross him. I overhaird the chatter, for they wouldna have spoken to me ’bout such a thing.”
Anne defiantly crossed her arms over her chest. “Since I have no secrets, Mary, what do you think?”

“Oh.”
“So, what was it like, the marquess’s kiss?” Mary asked, her eyes wide.
“It was adequate,” Anne said, retreating to hauteur and disarranging the brushes on the dressing table yet again.MoreLess
