“I hope they weren’t too much trouble with the dishes,” I said to Sadie in the washroom later that night.

“No,” she replied, twisting her long hair into a single braid, “they did their best. Nicholas broke a saucer, but this house has enough saucers to invite the entire country to tea.” She paused. “I heard that his Lordship was laughing at dinner.”

I nodded, smiling as I recalled the scene.

“This house could use more laughter,” she said. “He carries such a burden, you know.”

“What do you mean, exactly?”

She tied the end of her braid without looking up. “Lady Anna was a saint, if you ask me,” she said. “All those women.”

I shook my head. “You’re not saying that—”

“That he was unfaithful to his wife?” Sadie shrugged. “That’s between him and his maker.” She tucked her braid into her nightcap with a sigh. “But, yes, there were many, including—” She shook her head, as if snuffing out the thought. “I mustn’t gossip. Well, good night, Miss Lewis. I’d better turn in.”
