Alarm touched her. She recalled Grayson’s warnings about Burchard. She thought about Mr. Ardmore and his dangerous rage, which had already caught her in its crossfire twice.

Jeffery offered, “He is a proper gentleman, madam. Came in a proper carriage. With proper horses.” His tone grew admiring.

“Think, Jeffrey. Is it Mr. Burchard?”

Another vigorous head shake. “No, madam.”

He hesitated. “Don’t like to, madam.”

“Jeffrey, it is part of your duties to turn undesirable callers away.”

“I know, madam.” He twisted his large, gloved hands. “Only he was very insistent. And he looked at me so. He called me a good lad when I finally said I’d fetch you.”

“For heaven’s sake, I have already been abducted once. I have no wish to repeat the experience.”

“He doesn’t look like a pirate, madam. He wears a proper gentleman’s clothes, all fine and respectable like. Goes to a proper tailor. And has golden spectacles, all shiny.”
