Rogue in Red Velvet (2014)
“All those inn beds on the road, then the strange one at Cratchitt’s, then at Mother Dawkins’s. Now here.
This was by far the most luxurious. After meeting Julius and Helena yesterday, Helena had taken her to her room and called her own formidable maid, Marsden. Together with Saxton, they measured her and decided what colors she should order. Her protests that the gowns would be too costly, that she couldn’t take this fell on deaf ears. Saxton was thrilled and Helena told her she needed them if she was to take her proper part in society, so she succumbed and settled to enjoying the experience.
That night, at dinner, it was only Helena, Julius and Connie. “I’ve sent Alex away,” Julius said. “I want to get to know you, Connie, and with him acting the perfect knight, that’s hard to do.”
A civilized conversation later and they understood each other much better. They enjoyed similar books, and Julius kept the conversation ranging widely over subjects that had Connie believing that at least ...one of her dreams would come true, and she’d get to see some of the sights before she went home.MoreLess
