The Dark Earl
“Before Harry left, she visited with Rachel to bid her good-bye. “You must try to come to the queen’s costume ball at Buckingham Palace next week. It will be so much more fun if we can both be there in our short skirts.”
“As a matter of fact, I shall be attending. Lord Butler has invited me, and has offered to pick me up in his carriage. I don’t know if I shall have enough courage to wear a costume with a short skirt, however.”
“Well, to be truthful, I don’t know what I’ll be wearing either. But I know I’ll have more fun if you are there. Bye-bye, Rachel. Thank you for making Mother’s birthday celebration so special.”
Two hours later, after their cook, Mrs. Gilbert, fed them some chicken broth with dumplings, the Hamilton sisters retired to bed. Their conversations centered about the tarot card readings that “Mademoiselle Rachelle” had provided.
“My cards were better than anyone else’s, and moreover, I’m supposed to get my wish within a three!” Trixy could not hide her excitement.
