HOME OF OBADIAH AND SUZANNE CUMMINGS
âAre you certain, my lady?â
Davidson looked his usual calm self, save perhaps for the skepticism in his eyes. Alone, seated in the small, tidy sitting room of Obadiah and Suzanneâs home, Madeleine nodded her response.
âYes, Davidson. You know as well as I that the back staircase is better informed about social goings-on than their employers. Iâd like you to speak with any friends and acquaintances among staff in London for the winter. Learn whatever you can about aristocratic knowledge or interest in the Padget or my familyâs affairs. Iâd also like you to glean what you can about Solicitor Mandy Bristol and the social circles he keeps.â
âAye, my lady. Am I to leave immediately?â
âYes, though first Iâd like you to drop me at Dame Baltimoreâs.â
Her servantâs eyes widened. âDame Baltimore? Are you sure, my lady?â
âYes. We both know sheâs the spider at the center of the social web of London, gathering gossip from her wheeled chair. Sheâll have picked up any vibrations on these topics within fifty miles of London.â
âYes, my lady. If sheâll accept you in her parlor, of course.â
âSheâll see me, Davidson. If only hoping to learn some juicy tidbits for herself.â
Davidson cleared his throat, then proceeded gently. âMay I suggest, my lady, that you prepare yourself for what you must be willing to give away?â
