Simon waited only for the door to close, and then he broke the seal on the letter and read it.

‘Well?’ asked Miss Parkins.

‘Mr Brunson has recovered and has returned to work,’ he said. ‘He is at my disposal. I think I will not see him here, it will seem odd, and I do not want anyone alerted to our suspicions. I will go to York instead. I will be able to get a description of Mrs Reynolds, and find out if she is the woman we have in the castle or not. I will go first thing tomorrow. And what of you? Have you discovered anything?’

‘Nothing. She sent a letter to a friend, but it divulged very little.’

‘You read it?’

‘Of course, but I sealed it again afterwards.’

‘And there was nothing incriminating?’

He saw her mind working behind her eyes.

‘There was one strange sentence. She said she had not found what she was looking for, but did not despair of finding it.’

His expression darkened.

‘It could mean she knows . . . ’ He shook his head ‘ . . . or it could mean nothing more than a lost shawl. Has she had a reply.’

‘Yes. I did not manage to read it before she saw it.’

‘A pity. Never mind. We must continue to be vigilant.’

Miss Parkins’s look was derisory.

She knows I lowered my guard, he thought. I should not have done it. But there is something about Mrs Reynolds . . . if she is Mrs Reynolds, he reminded himself.

‘Very good, Miss Parkins. That will be all.’

‘Very good, my lord.’

As the door closed behind her, he walked over to the fire. His brother’s death had been a terrible thing. And his sister-in-law’s death had been worse.

And now . . . who was in the castle with him? Was it Mrs Reynolds? Or was the woman in the housekeeper’s room someone else entirely?
