Her own father had considered himself somewhat of a scholar. He kept a decent library, and possessed a handful of rare documents. He was even well respected for his speeches in the House of Lords. But for all hit admired cleverness he could not hope to achieve the skilled intelligence of this master. She wondered if any gentleman in all of England could do so.

A hint of uncertainty shadowed her heart. Who was this Sebastian St. Ives?

"Precisely how many languages do you speak?" she demanded with a faint frown.

His smile remained but Amelia was certain there was a guarded quality to his beautiful eyes.

"No more than any well-studied gentleman."

"That is no answer."

He closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. In the process he managed to hide his expression.

"Does it truly matter?"

"It is yet another mystery that surrounds you." She regarded his profile with a searching gaze.

"I know nothing of you. You do not speak of your family, or your past. I do not even know where you come from or why you settled in London."

"Perhaps we should return downstairs and ensure that William is still occupied with his kittens."

Her disquiet only increased at his obvious attempt to deflect her interest.

"What is it you hide from me, Sebastian?" she demanded in low tones.

"Only what is necessary," he retorted, slowly turning to face her. The silver eyes held a hint of regret, but the alabaster features were set in lines that prevented any argument. "Shall we return to William?"

Amelia wanted to protest. This man fascinated her like no other. He touched her heart and stirred her passions. He invaded her soul like a conqueror of old. And yet, she knew nothing of him.

He asked for her trust, yet did not offer his own.

With a frustrated sigh she placed her fingers on his arm and allowed him to lead her from the room. She knew enough of men to realize she could not force his confidences. Until he was prepared to lower his guard and share his secrets she could do no more than stew in silence.

Walking through the shadowed hall, Amelia stewed.
