With impatient hauteur mixed with repugnance, Lord Uxeter waited in his carriage while the footman presented his calling card at the door.

Following his interview with the earl, Edmund had sent word to Sir Garfield of his change of heart concerning the alliance, but now the baronet had inexplicably changed the agreement by putting forward his niece. He had described the girl as genteel, demure, and obedient, but Edmund cared only that she was sound for breeding and came with a fortune.

These ruminations were interrupted by the footman, who lowered the steps with word the baronet would receive him without delay. His lordship gracefully alighted and paused to brush an imaginary speck of lint from his sleeve. He adjusted the Mechlin lace at his neck and cuffs, and advanced to the house. Another servant led him into the salon, where he paced the room edgily while awaiting the arrival of the man he remembered only as a loutish boor.
