TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS

FROM M. KLEIN & COMPANY, FASHION DOLLS

Epilogue

“Hurry up! Get that wagon loaded and going!”

“Lukas, calm down!” Hilda Gench placed her arm on her husband’s, trying to calm him, but he shook it off.

“Hilda, be silent and get that useless son of yours out here! We need to get out of town as soon as possible!”

“But there’s no reason…”

“Of course there’s reason, fool woman! Were you deaf when you heard the pastor read the banns for the Wolf boy and the Klein girl? Well, if you did, then you also remember the loans I took to try and get that girl for our boy! Money to bribe the other guild masters, money for the magistrate, not to mention our other debts! If we don’t get out of town right now, we’re done for!”

Hilda whimpered as Lukas raised a meaty hand toward her. “But Lukas…”

“Go!”

“Men coming,” Rolf called from where he slouched in the doorway.

Toward the end of the street, Lukas saw men dressed in the uniforms of the town guard riding toward the house. Ignoring his wife and son, he clambered onto the wagon and grabbed the reins. “I’ll write from Prague!”
