“She called him Stephen? You are sure of this?” Catherine glared at Maryanne, trying to cow the woman into truthfulness. That there was a man in Helena’s bedchamber was astonishing. That it was Stephen of Dinan was not quite the surprise it might have been since she had seen the green favor about Carlisle’s arm.

“Yes, ma’am. She said it very quietly but I heard.”

“He is still there? Now?”

The mousy maid shrugged. “When I left he was still there. Shall I call the guards?”

Catherine bit her lip, unsure of just how she could capitalize on this unexpected windfall. There must be a way she could use it but if she brought the guards, then her advantage would be completely lost. “No, don’t call the guards.” She went to her private chest and pulled from within a small bag of coins. She dropped them into Maryanne’s upturned hand.

“Thank you, my lady.” Maryanne bobbed a shallow curtsy.

“There is twice the amount we agreed upon.” Catherine glared at her again. “That is to pay you to keep this knowledge to yourself. Do we have an agreement?”

Maryanne nodded. “Yes, my lady.”

“Then go.”

Maryanne hurried out, the pouch already hidden away.

Catherine sank back into her chair, thinking hard. How to use this? There must be a way. Who would find the knowledge most useful? Upon whom would it have the greatest effect?
