Chapter 6

It was pure torture for Rebecca to separate from Nigel in order to find Jo and Caro and to return to their room. But Nigel was right when he told her that between the walls of someone else’s house was no place to make love. And it truly was important for him to track the diamond thief’s movements. Nigel seemed certain Lord Herrington was the thief. In spite of what they’d heard, Rebecca wasn’t as sure. It didn’t seem quite right that a man who smelled so good and who had whispered so seductively to her could be guilty of stealing a diamond. Although she could certainly imagine him stealing a woman’s virtue. Some other woman’s.

“You’ll never believe what I saw.” Caro knocked Rebecca’s thoughts on the matter clear out of her head as the two of them met at one of the passageway’s intersections a few moments later.

“Wait, wait,” Jo whispered, dashing up from the direction Caro had come from. “Don’t share anything without me. I have a few things to share myself.”

The three of them crept back into their room, set their candles aside, and pushed the wardrobe back into place. Once it was secure and they all climbed onto Caro’s bed to share their discoveries, all three blurted almost in unison, “Miss Dobson was at the party.”

They collectively dissolved into shrieks and giggles, then spent a solid five minutes talking over each other about the scandalous things they’d seen their headmistress doing.

“Is it even proper to touch a man’s member like that?” Jo asked breathlessly as they rounded up the discussion. “Let alone two of them at once.”

“It’s not proper,” Caro said, a naughty glint in her eyes, “but it is revelatory. And I must say, as much as I loathe the woman, to have the dexterity to pleasure two men simultaneously is quite an accomplishment.”

Not for the first time, Rebecca wondered what devilish deeds Caro had done to find herself enrolled at Miss Dobson’s school. It had to be more than simply writing salacious novels.

“I think she knows something about the diamond,” Jo blurted just as Rebecca opened her mouth to ask about Caro’s past.

“What?” she and Caro exclaimed at the same time.

“I think she’s involved with the diamond,” Jo went on in a tight whisper, as though Miss Dobson were listening with her ear pressed against the door. She turned bright pink and said, “One of those men said something about—” she swallowed, looking a little sick, “—putting something in her, and she laughed and said he’d better hurry, because someone else had offered to put something far more precious up there.”

Rebecca sat bolt upright.

Caro gaped at Jo. “It can’t be coincidence,” she said. “It’s too close to—”

“—what the thief said the other day about the diamond,” Rebecca finished the sentence for her. “Could Miss Dobson have been the woman we saw….” She let her words die. It was too horrible to think that they’d witnessed their headmistress in such a position. It was bad enough that Rebecca had seen her half undressed.
