The Romantic
“Julian rode his horse to the nearest town, Billericay, to hire a gig so he could collect Pen and her trunks. The plan was to secure her a room for the night in a safe place in the town, while he returned to London. There he would find a woman to travel as Pen’s companion, to preserve respectability.
They decided to stay in small inns until they reached Yorkshire, and to travel under false names. She would be Mrs. Thompson and Julian would be her cousin, escorting her to a wedding in the Lake Di...strict.
After Julian left, Pen walked through the cottage, realizing that she would be a little sad to leave. She had rediscovered an old friendship here, one that had become obscured over the years. Mr. Hampton had become Julian again, and she would always remember this retreat as the place where that had happened.
She collected her treatise from the desk. When she got to Billericay she would post it to Mrs. Levanham. Then her comments could be compared to the ones others had made, and a final draft prepared.MoreLess
