The calm solitude of her bedchamber was like a wonderful balm on her troubled soul. She sat wearily next to the fire that burned merrily in the hearth and watched the dancing flames as they curled and leapt gracefully around the logs that gave their warmth to the room. She had rapidly concluded that the young Earl was nothing more than an arrogant, self-serving, awful bore and her heart sank as she contemplated a lifetime of being trapped with such a deeply unpleasant man.

She must have dozed for a while, because she awoke with a start at the sound of someone knocking gently upon her door. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up.

“Who knocks at this hour?”

When the cheerful maid who daily prepared her hearth fire and kept her bedchamber in perfect order called to her through the door, she unlocked it and let her enter.

“What on earth brings you here at this time of the night?”

The maid curtsied and bowed her head. “Begging your pardon, your Ladyship, but I have something for you that I am charged to deliver only into your hands.”

Georgiana took a sealed letter from the chambermaid’s hands and the girl promptly turned on her heel and sped away like a shadow down the long corridor. Georgiana closed the door and locked it, before turning the letter over, not recognising the crest imprinted into the wax seal that held it closed. With one swift movement of her slender finger, she broke the seal and began to read.

The letter had been written by Oliver and brought to the chambermaid that very evening, by her sister who worked at the Inn, for delivery into Georgiana’s hand. A moment later, she had to seek the support of her bed as she sat down to read the missive again and digest its importance.
