Rebel Baron
“Sin had instructed one of the servants to clean and repair the dinghy yesterday so the young couples could take turns using it. That way those who were unwed could spend time in private conversation while remaining in clear sight of the rest of the party.
Once the picnic gear had been unloaded and the guests were milling about, Brand took his friend aside, asking, “Has Tilda agreed to your own private picnic?”
“She's in on our conspiracy with Miss Auburn, old chap. I played that ace..., and she agreed to make herself scarce. The rest is up to you and the widow's most clever daughter.”
Looking at all the young people, Brand had his doubts but shrugged. “I'm not certain this whole scheme is wise. It seems to me you'll have a great deal more success with Tilda than I will with Miranda.”
“Never underestimate a pair of women with a plan,” Sin replied sagely. With that, he strolled over to Tilda and made an elegant bow, then assisted her back onto the wagon and drove away without a word.MoreLess
