Patricia Veryan - [sanguinet Saga 10] - Lanterns
“All her bitter resentment of Diccon's duplicity was swept away by the fear that he had been hurt, and she was beside herself with anxiety until Bridger returned and assured them that "his lordship" was safe. Later, Vaughan came back, to give them a detailed report. He seemed more elated over the splendid fight Diccon had put up than dismayed by the event itself. Worn out, Marietta went up to bed soon after he left again. She passed a miserable night, despising her weakness because, knowing the ...threat Diccon posed, fearing him and wanting to hate him, she could not stop loving him.
In the morning she awoke feeling wrung out from lack of sleep, and her nerves were on edge when at eleven o'clock she ushered a distinguished caller into the book room. Her heart had convulsed with fright when she saw the military uniform, but there was only one sergeant riding escort and the General seemed a pleasant, fatherly sort of man. He had made Sir Lionel's acquaintance at the home of Lord Kingston Leith, he said, and since he was in the neighbourhood had thought he'd pay a courtesy call.MoreLess
