Only a Promise
“Chloe had thought so last night when Ralph suggested it, and she thought so now as Mavis put the finishing touches to her hair and then fitted one of her new bonnets carefully over it so as not to disorder the curls she had created.
Actually, it felt even madder this morning. Her stomach was churning and she was not sorry she had been unable to eat much breakfast.
She had had to send a note off to Lucy to postpone the proposed walk in the park until tomorrow. She hated having to do that.... She had not seen her niece and nephew, Lucy’s children, since Christmas.
Had the Marquess of Hitching known of her existence before last year? The question had plagued Chloe half the night, as well as all the questions associated with it.

But he must have known of the possibility twenty-eight years ago when Papa warned him to leave London and never return.MoreLess
