âLord Mandrake?â
Edward looked up from his work to find his housekeeper standing in the doorway of his study. Mrs. Adams was behind her.
âYes, Mrs. Yates?â
âThe young maid is here â Lucy. You do not need to meet her, but we wanted you to know that she is now in the house, along with her baby.â
âThank you, Mrs. Yates,â he said. âIf they need anything, please see to it.â
âVery good, my lord.â
They were turning to walk away when he heard another voice from down the corridor â one he was much more interested in.
âDid you say Lucy had arrived?â
âLady Dot!â That must have been Mrs. Adamsâ exclamation. âShe has joined us here, yes. Thank you again for finding this placement for her.â
âDo not thank me. Please thank Lord Mandrake. Actually, Mrs. Adams, could you come to speak with me and Lord Mandrake for a moment, if he has time for us?â
He would always have time for Dot. This, however, should be interesting.
âOf course, my lady.â
Edward waited impatiently for Dot to step through the door. She was dressed today in a most becoming lavender gown, Mrs. Adams behind her. The servant was a short woman with a round, welcoming face, one that instantly put him at ease and reminded him of comfort.
âLady Dot, lovely to see you,â he said formally, for Mrs. Adams was present. âMrs. Adams. How is Adelaide?â
Mrs. Adams had been given the duty of seeing to Adelaideâs care. He didnât envy the woman, for Adelaide had been particularly prone to extremes of emotions â from what he had seen, anyway. He found it best to keep his distance.
âShe has not had an easy time of it, my lord,â Mrs. Adams said softly. âHopefully, as she progresses, she will improve.â
âI should hope so,â he murmured, telling himself to check on his brother and see how he was doing. For a man who had been so content in life without responsibility to suddenly have a future wife, pregnant with his child, he was likely having a time of it.
He waited now, curious as to why Dot had brought the servant into his study.
âMrs. Adams, I must ask you something that is of the utmost importance,â she said urgently, placing her hands together, the three of them still standing in a triangle tableau. âWho is the father of Lucyâs baby?â
Mrs. Adamsâ cheerful expression immediately dropped, her hands twisting together in front of her.
âI couldnât say, my lady,â she murmured.
âCouldnât you?â Dot asked, although not unkindly. âYou are safe here. No one has any hold over you anymore.â
âNot over me,â she said, looking from one of them to the other in some fear. âBut Lucy said it was best to keep this knowledge private. I am inclined to agree with her.â
âI am sure that Lord Carroway already knows that Lucyâs baby is his,â Dot said gently, although the news she so nonchalantly shared startled both Edward and Mrs. Adams. âHe will not want anything to do with the child, trust me.â
âHe wouldnât be the only man with bastards running about.
