Flora left Luke’s library, still deeply disturbed by what Louise had told her about Cleethorp’s behaviour. She returned to her room to indulge in a few minute’s reflection before returning to her duties with the countess.

‘Cleethorp ought to be publicly shamed for what he did,’ she muttered aloud.

Society would still turn its back on Louise.

‘Oh, Remus, there you are. I presume you were eavesdropping earlier, although I didn’t sense your presence. Well of course you were. You are the most inquisitive spirit guide I have ever encountered.’

How many are you acquainted with?

‘Good point.’

Anyway, your gratitude is sadly lacking for the interest I take in your affairs. I have better things to do, you know, than to look out for you the entire time.

‘On this occasion it is not my own interests that are under threat.’ Flora fixed Remus’s shimmering image with a serious look. ‘Is it? All I did was give Louise advice and reassurance.’

And offered to involve your earl, which means you yourself are now involved.

‘Only peripherally. What was I supposed to do? Turn my back on the girl and tell her I was unable to help? It took a lot for her to confide in me. The poor girl is desperate. I cannot begin to imagine what she must be going through and it is beyond my capabilities to withhold my assistance. I know what it was like for me, stuck in a house where I was neither valued nor appreciated but still expected to marry a man I didn’t much care for simply because he could be useful to my father’s career.’ Flora twitched her nose in disgust. ‘I wouldn’t wish a similar fate on anyone.’

You have a soft heart, which makes my life much harder.

‘I hate to point out that you are not actually alive.’

Then why are you talking to me?

‘Perhaps you’re a figment of my imagination and I’m simply losing my mind.’

Remus gave an other-worldly chuckle. We all of us live more than once. You still have so much to learn.

‘Evidently.’

Cleethorp is on his way to Swindon. Your path is destined to cross with his. Be careful. He’s dangerous.

A trickle of fear ran down Flora’s spine. Remus didn’t take his second life too seriously and she had seldom heard him sounding worried. ‘What can he possibly do to me?’

I’m not psychic.

Flora laughed in spite of herself. ‘Yes you are, otherwise how would you know that he’s on his way?’

It’s too complicated for your simple mind to comprehend. Remus sounded lofty, as he often did when he couldn’t explain something or chose not to. I can tell you he’s coming, that’s all.’

‘He doesn’t know me, nor does he have any reason to associate with me.’

And nor will he if you avoid Miss Pearson.

‘I can’t do that! What sort of friend would that make me?’

A sensible one who knows how to mind her own business. He flapped a translucent hand. All right, even I can see that would be asking a lot of you. Just remember what this man did to your friend.
