Rhys turned his full attention to Mary. He spoke to her in a calm, reassuring voice and he looked straight into her eyes. “Before I went upstairs, I asked Henry to saddle Whisper. She’s the calmest horse in Lord Clayton’s stables. I think you’ll like her very much.”

Mary only nodded, her eyes wide as tea saucers. “She certainly sounds as if she’s the correct horse if one is judging on name alone.”

Rhys laughed. “Precisely, my lady. Now, come with me.”

Ignoring Julianna again, Rhys offered Mary his arm and led her out into the barnyard where Henry and Whisper were already standing.

Whisper was a beautiful sorrel mare, slight of stature, clearly with a tame and serene disposition. The horse stood quietly eating an apple out of Henry’s hand.

“She doesn’t look so frightening,” Mary whispered, her throat working as she swallowed.

Julianna’s heart ached for her sister. “Be brave,” she called softly as Rhys escorted Mary over to meet the horse.

“First, you must be properly introduced,” Rhys said. “Lady Mary, this is Whisper. Miss Whisper, this is Lady Mary.”

The horse merely blinked her big doleful dark eyes at Mary.
