“We will make a trip to Nottingham next week for a house party,” Levering announced on their way to Briar House from the theatre.

Ella’s head snapped around in surprise. She was purposely watching the busy streets through the carriage window, trying to avoid Levering’s close examination. “I do not believe His Grace will approve of our traveling together.”

“Then you will come up with a way to convince him. Tell him you travel with a female friend. Your brother does not need to know what we do with our time.” Ella recognized the menacing threat behind the flippant tone of his command.

“And if I am not successful?” she ventured.

Levering looked away, pretending to take interest in a drunken ruckus on a lighted street corner. “I noticed Miss Aldridge prefers to walk in Hyde Park each day.Would it not be a shame if she lost her balance and slipped into the murky waters of the Serpentine some day.”

He made no effort to mask the warning behind the words. Either Ella complied or Levering would find a way to hurt Velvet. “I will think of something.”

“Of course, you will.You are quite resourceful, one of the qualities which endears you to everyone who knows you.”
