Sir Philip's Folly (The Poor Relation Series book 4)
“—ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON Arabella awoke with a feeling that her young life was at an end. She had behaved in a way to give the earl a disgust of her. And in the clear light of day in a locked hotel bedroom, she had little hope that Sir Philip would achieve what Lady Fortescue and Colonel Sandhurst had failed to do. But she could not help hoping that Sir Philip would clean himself up a bit for the audience with her mother and not appear in his undress and wearing his second-best teeth, which were of wood.
In the afternoon, she heard her mother and servants go out. She sat moodily in a chair by the window, too depressed to take out that precious key and allow herself some freedom.
Then she heard an urgent scratching at the door and Miss Tonks’ voice whispering, “Let me in, Arabella.”
Arabella went and unlocked the door.
“He doesn’t care a rap for me,” she said passionately.
Miss Tonks looked sympathetic but she said, “You did bring it on yourself, Arabella. What prompted you to flirt in ...that bold way with Mr.MoreLess
