Once a Princess (1991)
“Her horse-riding skills weren’t good enough to ensure that she could stay well ahead of any pursuit on a direct route. As it was, she’d been unseated nearly a half-dozen times in the first two days she’d spent getting acquainted with the horse she had appropriated for her use. So her roundabout journey home took five days in all. And if she weren’t so worried about The Seraglio and how Dobbs was managing without her, she still wouldn’t venture into town. But she’d been gone a total of seven day...s, and she couldn’t begin to imagine what kind of shambles the tavern would be in. She had to get back.
Nonetheless, she was plainly and simply afraid Stefan would be there waiting for her. Of course, logic told her they wouldn’t come all the way back to Natchez for her. And even if they did, would they wait when they didn’t find her there? All she could do was hope not, and take as many precautions as she could.
Waiting on the outskirts of town until the wee hours of the morning was the worst, but she couldn’t risk entering The Seraglio while it was open for business—if it was still open.MoreLess
