The Lady Series
““Ach, I cannot believe this,” Mistress Godwin cried. “Although you haven’t her coloring, you most definitely have my Frances’s pretty face.”
Her smile took a sly twist. “Nor was I so far from you that I couldn’t overhear your conversation with your grandsire. I’d say you have her fire as well,” she added in approval.
“Mistress Godwin,” Anne said, offering the old woman the show of respect she hadn’t wanted to give her grandsire. “How pleased I am to make your acquaintance. Did my mother send an...ything with you?”
“Indeed she did.” The fold of paper Mistress Alice pulled from her purse was tied with string. “In her letter to me Frances said that I must mention to no one that I carried this for you, especially not to your grandsire.”
Anne tensed in excitement. Such a warning said this must be the response to her questions about Lady Montmercy. There was subtle irony in Amyas unwittingly serving as escort to such a message.
