Renegade Heart
“She took time to dress and apply her face powder, rouge and lip colour. Once she was satisfied with her appearance she left her private chamber and climbed the stairs to the attic where she had given Wolf a straw mattress for the night.
In the gloom under the sloping roof the mattress was empty. In fact it didn’t look as though he had slept there at all. Her first feeling was one of relief that he had gone without dragging her further into his problems. Her second was one of panic as she re...called his insistence on taking Enola with him.
It was seldom Magnosa travelled faster than her practised elegant walk, but, making an exception in the circumstances, she fairly flew down the stairs to where Enola’s small and simple room was off situated just off the scullery. Magnosa threw open the door and could have wept to see the girl sleeping soundly in her bed.
Protruding from beneath the bed was a bare foot and Magnosa crouched down for a closer look.MoreLess
