Lord Atherton's Ward (2009)
“She stood up and a second flurry almost removed her hat. She turned to call to her groom who was sitting holding the two horses whilst they grazed on the springy turf at the top of the bank.
‘Bill, I think we should head back. The wind is getting up and I’m certain I can see black clouds on the horizon.’ ‘I shall have them tacked and ready in a few moments, miss. It was becoming a mite breezy up here these past few minutes.’ Securing her hat more firmly, she shook the sand from her habit. It ha...d been a pleasant morning and she was sorry to leave before having eaten her picnic, but the cliff path they had to negotiate would not be safe in the rain.
Sultan nuzzled her. ‘I know, silly fellow. You are as eager as I to return.’ Up here the wind was more ferocious and her divided skirts flapped wildly around her booted ankles. She turned for Bill to toss her into the saddle. Gathering her reins she turned her horse in the direction of Kesgrave Hall. To her horror in the short time since she had left the beach the waves were no longer ripples but white crested and racing in far quicker than before.MoreLess
