“Well, you know Andrew. He knows everything. Evidently there is an old pagan custom during changes in life. Surrounded by friends and loved ones, a person is spanked to ward off evil spirits. A birthday was considered a change in life.”

“Oh Cici, you weren’t gullible enough to fall for that whopper were you?”

Cici grimaced, then pouted in dismay. Had Andrew made up that outrageous tale? He surely didn’t need a reason to spank. He did it whenever he felt like it.

“I can’t believe he let you spank him.”

Cici’s looked at her startled. Goodness gracious, what a fool she had been.

“What is wrong?”

She shook her head, refusing to answer. Maggie looked at her face and broke out into loud guffaws of laughter causing several park visitors to turn their heads and stare. Lowering her voice she commiserated with her friend. “Oh Cici, he turned it around and spanked you, didn’t he?

“Yes, he said the person celebrating the birthday got to select the recipient of the spanking. I am an idiot! And your brother is certainly in for it when I get home. He spanked me twenty-nine times, plus one for luck, and one for a happy marriage, the scoundrel.” Cici seethed with outrage.

“Cici…” Maggie’s voice had sharpened from its previous relaxed tone. “Don’t panic, but Lady Angela Winslow just entered The Ring.” She pointed to the woman of interest with the subtle flick of her fan. It was the fashionable hour, and they had come to promenade. The crowd of carriages was so thick, that every so often they came to a dead stop. At present, the horses were making their way around the circle at a snail’s pace. The widow had just entered The Ring and was on course to meet with their’s momentarily.

“Maybe we should go.”

“Absolutely not. You can’t run from the woman. You are the victor in this,..” She paused and then giggling added, “I guess that makes my dear brother the spoils.”

“It’s not funny, Maggie. You cannot understand how awkward and uncomfortable it is to know that woman was with Andrew.”

“Andrew swears he is faithful, Cici. I believe him, he is a man of honor, truly.”

“I want to believe him Maggie, but there are so many things that cause me nagging doubts.” She felt her friend looking at her oddly. “Think about it. He was forced into a marriage with a woman not of his style.”

“What does that mean?”

“His style is tall, willowy blondes, like Lady Winslow and Elizabeth. Obviously that is the type of woman he prefers. Instead he got a dowdy, chubby, short girl with unfashionable red-hair and freckles… and a penchant for trouble.”

Maggie snorted, “I reject that idea. You are beautiful although you can’t see it for yourself, what else?”

“You know his reputation; he was quite the scoundrel before we married. And he met with the widow after we wed.”

“But that was just Elizabeth talking-“

“No, I’ve heard it from more than one source. He was seen going into her home one evening just days after the wedding.
