At that moment Percy Dimty entered the library and glanced about, his hard scrutiny landing on Mrs. Parsons. “Pardon. I didn’t realize you were in here.”

Adron smiled dryly. “As you see. I’ll let you know when I’m finished.” He waited until Percy removed himself.

“Come now. In your position, you must have heard rumors concerning the estate jewelry?”

She glanced over her shoulder at the door. Her tone softened to a cautious level. “You should ask Lady Rhonda or Mr. Dimty.”

“But as housekeeper, you’re privy to much. Have you heard or seen anything unusual?”

“I have no truck with jewelry. Did you question that uppity woman of Lady Rhonda’s? She should know if you manage to believe a word she says?”

He raised his brows. “I intend to once I return to Kendlwood. She suffered from a bad head when last I was there.”

Mrs. Parson stared at him and seemed to judge her words carefully. “I’ve served this family most of my life. I started as the upstairs maid when the twins was in leading strings.” She spoke with pride adding, “I rose to housekeeper a goodly spell later. Lady Rhonda is mistress here now and has been for some few years. She pays well.”

“What of Lady Laurel Laningham? Surely she is considered the mistress here since she was Lord Laningham’s wife.”

“When he went off to war, his lordship left Lady Rhonda in charge with Mr. Percy as steward. He said his bride was young and inexperienced so Rhonda remained as mistress until he returned. By then he was too weary to pay any attention to things around him. Poor soul.”
