“What else?” she wailed and twisted her fists together in her lap.

“What did you eat before you went to bed?”

She frowned and a soft sigh escaped. “I don’t remember. That can’t be important.”

“Humor me.”

“A hunk of bread, some cheese. I think that’s all.”

“Nothing to drink?” he cross-examined with a lifted brow.

“I forgot the chocolate. Cook left a kettle on the hob. I drank some and carried the rest to my chamber.” Leaning her head against the back of the chair, she let her eyes drift shut again, floating away from the badgering questions.

“Bethany. Wake up.”

She slowly allowed her lashes to sweep up. “Did someone try to kill me or not?”

He gave a curt nod. “Most likely.”

After a swift survey, his lips curl in a smile. “We’ll finish this in the morning. It’s time you were in bed.”

She gazed at him with a stricken expression and pushed to her feet. “That’s all I know,” she cried and collapsed.

Royce hastened to her side with the housekeeper on his heels. Mrs. Tackler cast a look filled with reproach at him.

He grimaced and lifted Bethany in his arms. “I freely admit, I’m a brute, but the threats on her life unsettle me. I must find answers. Her very life seems to depend on it.”

Carrying her up the stairs, he followed the housekeeper into a bedchamber and laid her on the bed. “I want to discuss all that passed this night with my cousin. I need his opinion.”

Mrs. Tackler asserted, “Go along with you. I’ll see to her.”
