The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy
“It had been ten minutes since they’d passed through Flixton, the nearest village to Maycliffe Park. Iris tried not to look too eager—or nervous—as she watched the landscape slide by through the window. She tried to tell herself it was just a house, and if her husband’s descriptions were accurate, not even a terribly grand one at that.
But it was his house, which meant it was now her house, and she desperately wished to make a good impression upon her arrival. Richard had told her there were thi...rteen servants in the house proper, nothing too daunting, but then he’d mentioned that the butler had been there since his childhood, and the housekeeper even longer, and Iris could not help but think that it did not matter that her surname was now Kenworthy—she was the interloper in this equation.
They would hate her. The servants would hate her, and his sisters would hate her, and if he had a dog (really, shouldn’t she know if he had a dog?), it would probably hate her as well.
She could see it now, prancing up to Richard with a silly dog grin, then turning to her, fangs out and snarling.MoreLess
