Chapter 18

When they reached Raglan’s farmhouse on a hill above Balaclava, it was almost dawn, a faint golden glow streaking the horizon.

“This shouldn’t take long,” Darley said, dismounting, Aurore and the men remaining in the saddle. “Raglan’s still abed, I expect, but Cattley will be up.” Raglan’s intelligence chief occupied a room in the farmhouse to expedite the transmission of critical information. “We’ll ride over to French headquarters after this.”

True to his word, he returned shortly, his report to Cattley quickly done.

“Your brother reached Eupatoria safely,” he mentioned as he remounted. “A messenger recently arrived with that and other news.” What he didn’t say was that Etienne was aboard ship bound for Marseille. He wasn’t yet ready for the argument about who was going where, when and with whom. “Now, we’re off to see Pelissier, right?” His tone was bland as was his query. He wanted her aboard his yacht before any contentious issues came up.
