She checked the old clock Lionel had repaired for her. It was indeed dinnertime, but the book—one she’d brought from home—enthralled her. She marked her page and followed Sadie, taking her place at a long wooden table in the kitchen.

The sky had been dark all day, threatening a storm, but the rain hadn’t started yet. The kitchen, however, was cozy and warm, and she smiled as she smelled the stew and studied the faces of the people around her.

If only Lydia could see me now. She’d swoon and take to her bed. No, she’d probably sneer and point her finger, telling her she lacked all sense of propriety and was a disgrace to her family.

“You’re laughing, madam.”

She grinned at Mary and nodded. “I was thinking about my overly proper sister-in-law who would starve before she would share a meal with a servant.”

“You are a very Christian lady,” said Lionel. “In your view, as in the eyes of God, all souls are equal.”

“Thank you, Lionel. It is beyond complimentary to be viewed as having an attribute of God.”

They ate their mutton stew with fresh bread, and when the dessert was finished, Gwen ambled up to her room, dismissing Sadie after changing into an old cotton nightgown. She curled back up in her chair, moved the candle closer for better light, and found her place in her book. She’d read for a while, and then climb into her cold bed.

Memories of her night with John swirled before her—his nervous look when he told her about the French letter, the softness of his lips on her breast, the sounds he made as he climaxed.

Her lady parts tingled with the memory, and she breathed deeply before reopening her book. Soon. Soon he’d be home.
