The next morning after breakfast, Lady Pettigrew regarded her departing guests with sincere regret. “I do wish the two of you could stay another day or so. We so enjoyed your visit, didn’t we, George?”

“Visit was fine,” Pettigrew muttered. He was having a hard time disguising his relief that at least two of the unwelcome guests were about to leave.

Lady Pettigrew turned to Iphiginia, who waited on the front steps as Marcus’s black phaeton was readied. “Mrs. Bright, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to learn that my Temple of Vesta is indeed a proper sort of ruin.Thank you so much for taking the time to study and measure it for me.”

“You’re quite welcome.” Iphiginia was terribly conscious of Marcus standing next to her. His impatience was palpable.

“You do feel that our ruin is quite accurate?” Lady Pettigrew pressed.

“Yes, indeed,” Iphiginia murmured. She could feel Marcus’s laconic gaze resting on her.

“It is amazingly accurate in every detail,” Marcus said. “I toured it myself last night. I vow, with very little imagination, one could imagine the presence of a genuine temple virgin.”

Lady Pettigrew glowed with pride. “Really?”

“Not bloody likely,” Pettigrew muttered. “And you cannot tell me you’d have wanted one to actually put in an appearance, Masters. Whole world knows that you have a rule against getting involved with virgins.”

Iphiginia was annoyed. “Some rules are made to be broken, so far as I am concerned.”
