The Doctor's Newfound Family (2010)
“Not only had she spied Luke, she had seen that he was being held by the wrist and dragged along the opposite side of the street. The boy was struggling to get free, as she would have expected, but he and the surly-looking man who had hold of him were being summarily ignored by the passing gentry. Only the hooligans seemed to be taking notice and all they did was cheer the man’s efforts to control the unruly child.
She started to call out, then changed her mind. If she didn’t alert anyone to her... presence she’d have a better chance of overtaking Luke unobserved. At least she hoped so. What action she might take when she did face her brother’s captor was another matter.
Empty-handed and defenseless, she knew she had only her wits on which to rely. “Such as they are,” she murmured, disgusted at herself for leaving the orphanage without so much as her reticule. What on earth was she going to do?
That didn’t matter. All that counted was getting her brother back. Lifting her skirts to keep them out of the foul mud as she crossed the street, she began to zigzag around wagons and horses.MoreLess
