The Notorious Lord Havergal (2015)
“This meant a battle with Mrs. Siddons to augment the already lavish meal, but first she studied her guest list, seeing it with her new guests’ eyes. Mr. Norton was the last person she wanted to have sit down with the duke and Lord Havergal, but he was a close friend, and he would be mortally wounded if he were put off.
No, unthinkable to offend her friends to impress mere acquaintances. And there was Miss Millie, Norton’s sister cum housekeeper. The Smallbones from the next estate were pres...entable, and that left only the vicar and his wife to round it off. No apologies were required for a vicar, but her mind would compare him to the Archbishop of Canterbury. That made a total of five couples, ten people in all, about as ill-sorted a group as she had ever assembled under her roof.
At least it was only for dinner. They would be leaving immediately after for the assembly. She called Cook into her office for the confrontation regarding the new menu.MoreLess
