The Roguish Miss Penn (1991)
“The two girls sat in the rear garden of the Penn house, cozily situated beneath a pergola that once upon a time had boasted a drapery of climbing roses. It was all Katherine could do to keep the structure upright now, but she loved the view and pleasant shade it offered, and so persisted in her efforts. Today, the late-summer sun warmed them while they shared a fascinating gossip.
“I scarce believe that you, of all people, should meet Lord Ramsey. Tell me, what did his house look like?” Melly q...ueried, her eyes searching Katherine’s face for evidence that she had magically altered as a result of this momentous occasion.
Closing her eyes in reflection, Katherine said, “My impression is one of light and charm. For you must know that I spent most of my time attending to his lordship and Mrs.Cheney. We went through a breakfast room decorated, near as I can remember, in pale green and ivory. I was hurried up to the plunge bath so as to not drip over the floor any more than necessary, so I cannot tell you about the furniture, other than I recall it seemed richly dark.”MoreLess
