Chapter 11

Bran nearly pounced on the servant wearing the Linworth livery when the man appeared in the Briar House foyer. A caged animal, he had paced the halls for four days. Only Velvet had ventured near him; everyone else had given him a full circle. Bran snatched the letter before Mr. Horace had an opportunity to present it on a silver salver. Turning toward his study, he stopped at the blue sitting room’s door and simply nodded at Velvet. She immediately excused herself from a handful of gentlemen callers and followed Bran down the long hallway.

“Is it from Ella?” she asked as she entered the room and closed the door.

Bran already held a letter opener in his hand. “It has Worthing’s insignia in the wax.” He gestured to a nearby settee, indicating he would join her there.

“Thank, God,” she gasped as she collapsed onto the seat. “Worthing has protected her.”

“I pray that is the case.” Bran sat beside her. As he unfolded the multiple pages written in a close hand, he rasped out the first few words before he could steady his nerves.
