In a half hour’s time, Helena entered the dining room, clad in the pale blue frock. Their guests had already arrived but were not yet seated. The Earl smiled at her, and she demurely curtseyed to him. Good, he was pleased with her timing. Her tendency to come in late or early often caused tension between them, but Helena was not exactly certain how to come in at just the right moment. Providence was with her on this occasion, and therefore luncheon would be far more pleasant than it might have been. She pasted a smile on her face, walked over to Lady Spencer, and remarked as how they had not yet been introduced.

Katharine remained at the back of her mind for the rest of the afternoon and evening, even as she conversed with Lady Spencer. Helena and Katharine did not meet for prayers on Sundays—Katharine viewed it as a day of rest for her horse—and so Helena had to content herself with images of Katharine’s steady, gentle hands, blonde hair, and smooth skin. She managed to keep her head so long as she was in company, but lost herself in the images as soon as she returned to her room. Helena had not longed for morning so much in ages.
