The Redemption of Lord Rawlings
“The world has gone absolutely mad. Take for example what this author discovered last night. That the dishonorable Lord Rawlings is to help chaperone one of the Season's most glorious debutantes. Dear readers, is this not the same as handing an innocent lamb to a wolf? This author is counting down the days until that particular betrothal is announced. There is absolutely no possibility that the despicable Lord Rawlings can keep his hands to himself. I’d like to see him try.
—Mrs. Peabody’s Socie...ty Papers Abigail was not aware of the direction she was running, only that she needed to escape Rawlings at all costs. Was it her punishment that the very day she decided against him he should kiss her? Why did it hurt so? Knowing that the kiss was more out of pity than anything is what troubled her most. It spoke of brotherly affection, of love without any sort of passion. His tenderness spoke volumes. He was a rake. Rakes did not kiss women in that way. It was, in her mind, a pity kiss.MoreLess
