Invite the reading maid to dinner, said Lady Sowerby, and let us hear what she has to say about Herodotus. Everyone at that table laughed. The Duke of Hollingbourne said only: as you please. Two days later, Alice Verity walked into that dining room in wine-red silk with gold at the hem — and three people knew whose gown it was before she had let go of the door handle. It had belonged to his wife. She had been dead eleven years, and nobody in that house had said her name since. A full-length historical romance. Four chapters.
