“Ah. I should have apologized for that from the first. I know I took a terrible liberty, but I wanted a private spot to ask my question, one where we had no fear of being interrupted by other guests seeking a respite from the dancing.” Lady Winston shook her head. “I suppose the gardens would not do on a rainy night like this, but there are plenty of rooms downstairs that are private enough. You could also have called on the young lady in her own home like a proper gentleman.”

“Yes, yes,” Lady Winston said, waving her hand back and forth. “But are you or are you not intending to marry this man?”

“Oh,” Amanda said, her voice far higher than usual. What could she do? She had to play along or the scandal would be enormous. “As Mr. Stanton said, I accepted him just a few moments ago.”

“What?”

“Pinch me so I can wake up.”

He had the nerve to laugh. “I am afraid this is no dream. We have gotten ourselves well and truly ensnared.
