Tempting a Proper Lady (2010)
“When the door opened, Samuel found himself face to face with Thomas the footman. The servant’s eyes widened for a moment before narrowing. Samuel did not bother to stop the grin that curved his mouth. “Good morning, Thomas. I’m expected.”
For a moment he thought the footman was not going to allow him entrance, but then the servant stepped backward, jerking the door open. Samuel stepped inside as the servant closed the door behind him.
“Come to see Miss Annabelle, have you?” the servant asked, b...ristling with nearly visible hostility.
“Actually it was Mr. Bailey who summoned me.”
Surprise flashed across the footman’s face before he masked it. “Wait here,” he muttered, then stalked toward the hallway.
“Thomas.”
The footman stopped and turned, his hands fisting at his sides. He waited.
“Glad to see the lip healed well,” Samuel said.
The footman glared, then spun on his heel and marched down the hallway.
Long minutes passed as Samuel was left to cool his heels in the foyer.MoreLess
