“—MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, V, i, 198 Lady Honora leaned over the rail and watched as Tony and Sir Danny practiced with rapier and dagger on the lawn below the terrace. “He’s very handsome, isn’t he?”

“If only he weren’t so short.”

“Nay, foolish child.” Lady Honora laughed deep in her chest, and it almost sounded like a purr.MoreLess
