The Time of the Clockmaker (2015)
“I must have looked such a sight that neither Helen nor Joan said a word. They looked scared.
I rapped at the door and thought I heard voices on the other side.
“Lady Shelton, I won’t be changing my mind.” I heard the clockmaker’s voice from inside.
I rapped again. This time even more insistently.

“I’m sorry, my lady. But I don’t want to talk.”
