Ruby Flynn
“She had searched the castle to find Betsy to tell her that the coffee was ready in the kitchen and Mrs Mack wanted to check that they all had clean aprons and caps on.
‘Shh,’ hissed Betsy, ‘I have to listen. When the telephone rings, I have to run down to the kitchen and tell Mrs Mack that Lord Charles is on his way up. They have a phone at the lodge house and Jane’s daddy will ring here and then I tell everyone else. I’m worried I won’t hear it though. She has already checked my apron, twice.’... ‘Jane and the girls are telling me he is gorgeous, is that so?’ Ruby had sat herself on the desk and was swinging her legs. ‘Are you staring at that phone in case you don’t hear it ring – do you listen with your eyes?’ she laughed.
‘No I do not, you eejit, now away with you, Ruby Flynn, I’ve just polished that desk and his study is one of the first places he will come. I want him to know I look after it well for him.’ ‘God, everyone really wants to be in Lord Charles’s good books, don’t they?’ Ruby had no idea why, but she felt slightly put out by what a tizzy everyone was in today as they anticipated the arrival of Lord Charles, and yet no one had mentioned Lady Isobel.MoreLess
