Chapter 23

Amy hugged Sophie. So did Lady Heather. Lord Barrington bowed to her with a smile and Mr. Nicholson followed suit, murmuring, “Lady Isabella, I think we shall have to get reacquainted.”

Bridget watched the exchange through narrowed eyes. “You are all mistaken! She is my daughter! She is Sophie, not Isabella!”

“You don’t have to listen to her,” Amy took Sophie’s arm. “Lady Nethercote, shall we take Sophie, I mean Isabella from here?”

Lady Nethercote suggested the sofa at the other end of the room. Sophie went with them but a few minutes later, she excused herself and went to sit down beside Isabella.

“It’s not your fault. You didn’t know,” she said.

Isabella did not respond. Sophie took her cold hand in hers. “Don’t be like this! Speak to me!” she pleaded.

“How could she do this, Sophie? I’m a criminal now. Lord Nethercote and Lady Wimberley called me an impostor.”

“They don’t know you. I’ll tell them you are innocent.”

“I used to wish she was my mother,” Isabella said in a strangled voice. “I worshiped her, Sophie! But now she is nothing to me. I can’t forgive her, Sophie!”

Sophie did not know how to comfort Isabella. The world as she knew it had shattered around her. She had hoped to be reunited with her brother and now she had no one. Sophie quietly held her hand and listened to her pour her heart out.
