The Duke's Undoing (Three Rogues And Their Ladies)
“The aloe vera that her aunt was applying several times a day to her blistered face was working to ease the pain, and her blisters were only the size of large pinheads. For this, she was grateful. However, she knew that she owed her greatest debt of gratitude to the duke for immediately treating her with the splashes of cold water before the burns could penetrate more deeply. If he had not been present, she had no idea of what she would look like now.
The picture she presented was not a pleasing... one. After a couple of days, the redness had departed and she was left with a face covered in breaking white blisters. After a week, her entire face was peeling, revealing a red epidermal layer. Dr. Finch was very pleased at her progress.
Ruisdell sent fresh flowers every day—deep blue hydrangeas, violets, white roses, and ranunculi, a rare variety of gentians—and most recently a posy of pink rosebuds, including a note that said they reminded him of seeing her at the opera that first time. She would probably never admit it, but the constant remembrance and the thoughtful notes in the language of flowers did much to comfort her.MoreLess
