Silent Melody (2015)
“And so Lady Sterne had all the delight of summoning her mantua maker and of spending two long days having Emily’s measurements taken and choosing patterns and fabrics with her and convincing her that she needed many more clothes than Emily had first thought.
She had the delight too of spreading the word that the sister of the Earl of Royce, the sister-in-law of the Duke of Harndon, was in town to take in the Season. She made a particular point of having it known that Lady Emily Marlowe was ...totally deaf and without speech but that she could read lips. And that her beauty surpassed even that of her sisters, who were remembered as great beauties. Had not one of them snared Harndon, the most handsome, the most discriminating, the most eligible bachelor of his time?
“Egad, but you are happy, Marj,” Lord Quinn said to her when the week was almost over. “I have not seen you so happy in a long while.”
“Of course I am happy,”MoreLess
