Sir Peregrine Wallace stormed away from the inn, away from the marketplace. His face a mask of black temper, uncaring of whom he shouldered out of his way, he strode to where he’d left his horse in Morgan’s care.

The sight of his loyal henchman gave Sir Peregrine pause.

His temper cooled, chilled by unnerving realization. He needed to marry Jacqueline Tregarth. There was no other way to achieve his ends.

He joined Morgan and, with a curt nod, accepted the reins of his rawboned hack. “They found the tunnels and filled them in. So now, not only has Miss Tregarth a lake full of water, but their blasted stream is running strongly again.”

Morgan blinked in his usual dour way. After a moment, he asked, “Do you want me to go and set up the tunnels again?”

Sir Peregrine thought, then shook his head. “No—that’s over with.” After several moments of further cogitation, he said, “There’s a gentleman who I gather is visiting—a family friend. He was by her side just now. From his accent, he might well be from London. I don’t want to do anything to signal my interest in the Hall, not while he’s about.” Sir Peregrine focused on Morgan. “Find out who the fellow is, where he’s staying, and when he’s likely to leave.”

Morgan nodded.

Sir Peregrine grasped his saddle and mounted. Gathering the reins, he looked down at Morgan. “Meanwhile, I’ve plans to make. Once our interfering gentleman departs, I want to be ready to act.” Sir Peregrine nodded in dismissal. “Come and tell me what you learn. I’ll be at Lydford.”

Morgan tugged his forelock. He stood and watched Sir Peregrine ride away, then turned and lumbered toward the marketplace.
