Miss Molly Robbins Designs a Seduction
“Lotterby. Not wanting the landlady to worry, she wrote that something unexpected had called her into the country, but she would return in September. She was not permitted to send for her own clothes or any other items, except for the lace gown he’d ordered her to make. With the ribbons to be tied and untied at his leisure.
“Won’t Mrs. Lotterby think it strange that this is all I take with me?” she demanded.
“If you require anything else, take it from my sister’s chamber,” he snapped. “She left ...plenty behind.”
If she required anything else? Apparently he expected to keep her in a state of indecent undress.
That same evening they departed London for Sussex and the Everscham estate. Despite the circumstances of this sudden trip, Molly was curious to see the place. She’d heard about it from Lady Mercy but had never seen even a picture. Perhaps she would learn more about Carver once she’d visited the estate. It might explain a lot of things, the way taking a cover off a clock showed her the workings with all the little cogwheels.MoreLess
