The Mysterious Governess (Daughters of Sin book 3)
“Home? She couldn’t believe her father was demanding that she return.
“Do you think he’ll miss me, Jane?” she asked, turning her tragic gaze upon her maid who was hoisting up two carpet bags from the Aubusson carpet to take down to the carriage.
“Who, miss? Lord Debenham? He were mighty put out that you didn’t thank him for his flowers.”
“Of course, I don’t mean Lord Debenham! I mean Lord Ludbridge. I’ve not told Mama about him yet because I wanted it to be a surprise.”
“You’re forever giving your family surprises, miss,” Jane muttered, heading for the door. “What surprise is this one?”
Araminta followed her. “I’d wanted Mama to be surprised and delighted when I told her about Lord Ludbridge’s marriage proposal but now it’s all spoiled for I’ll have to tell her all about him during the week I’m back home.”
“You didn’t mention he’d proposed, Miss.”
“Don’t be so silly, Jane. He hasn’t yet, but he will. I just wouldn’t want to make the same mistake I did over Sir Aubrey.”
