Arthur spent the morning writing letters to his steward regarding his two estates and then set about writing a letter to his grandmother. He’d been putting off sending her a missive simply because the last time that she had written him, she had gone on, to no end, regarding his continued bachelorhood and his lack of prospects or inclination toward marriage.

That had all changed. The kiss the other day at the dig site for starters, and now just last night had seemed to be a turning point with him and Hallie. That she was allowing him to court her was a big step for her, and a massive relief for him.

Now he had to write to his grandmother and explain what he was about and who he was courting. He was certain that once she met Hallie she would fall in love with her as much as he feared he was well on the way to doing.

He’d never felt such a connection with anyone before in his life and to finally have her back in England and willing to see what may come of them was a desire he’d never thought would come to fruition.

“Ah, Lord Duncannon, may I come in? There is a book on botany that Baron Bankes mentioned and I’m most eager to look through it.”

Arthur glanced up from signing the letter to his grandmother and nodded to Mr. Stewart, who stood at the threshold of the room. “Of course. Please, come in. I’m almost finished here in any case.”

The gentleman scanned the bookshelves as Arthur wax-sealed his missives and stamped them with his family emblem. Out the corner of his eye he watched the man’s progress, something about the gentleman not sitting right with him. Arthur could not exactly say what it was about him that he distrusted, maybe a gut instinct, but there was something decidedly off about the man. Hallie certainly did not like him, and his presence discomfited her, more than she would admit. He would bear keeping an eye on.

“What a delightful house party,” Mr. Stewart said, his back to Arthur as he continued his search. “I do not think I’ve ever been to one with such congenial guests. Do you not agree, Lord Duncannon?”

Arthur had been to many house parties over the years, some with much more friendly and agreeable persons, but then Mr. Stewart may not have been to as many as he and so he nodded, showing his support. “It has been a most pleasant stay.”

“Have you been up to the archaeological dig site yet? I must admit that I’m yet to look in on it, but I do believe the woman who’s in charge of it, Miss Evans, is most accomplished.”

“She is,” he agreed, at least on this point Mr. Stewart was indeed quite correct. “They are starting a new trench tomorrow in fact. I’m sure in the days to come they will find many new artifacts to date and explain.”

“Oh yes, no doubt,” Mr. Stewart readily agreed. “I understand she spent some time in Egypt.
