Mrs. Jeffries Forges Ahead
“Jeffries Forges Ahead CHAPTER 8 Wiggins knocked softly on the door to the servants’ entrance of 3 Wallington Square. He wore his best jacket and matching trousers, his navy blue tie, and a pristine white shirt.

He’d also timed his visit very carefully so that he could avoid any encounters with the master or mistress of the house.

Startled, she drew back. “What are you on about?” She started to close the door.MoreLess
