The weekend was a whirlwind of activity as Taylor and Maude worked together to get the boys packed up for their big trip to London.

“I’m so excited about seeing London for the first time,” Taylor said, trying not to bounce up and down and to instead act like the lady of the manor.

“I’ve never been,” Maude said. “I can’t wait to go myself. It should be fun to see the social whirl.”

“I’m glad this isn’t part of the season. I’m not sure I’m ready to be in London for a season yet. I would fall all over myself trying to do the right thing.”

Maude laughed. “You seem very socially adept to me.”

“I’m faking it!”

They finished packing the boys’ clothes, and they went into the master bedroom to pack up Taylor.

“I’m sure the master’s valet will pack for him, so we need to pack your things.”

Taylor was glad her Kindle was hidden beneath her mattress. She still read on occasion, but most of her time was spent with family. She would choose a few books from the library to take with her. She found a trunk and put her things in it, feeling as if it was a ridiculously small amount. She placed her brush in with everything else and was extremely thankful when Maude didn’t mention her lack of clothing.

“Harry is going to see to it that I have an appointment with a seamstress when we get to London.”

“Good. You need to have more dresses, because you’re a countess now.”

“I just feel bad spending all of Harry’s money.”

“All of his money? You certainly must not have had him checked out before you married him. Trust me, you will not be spending all of his money.”

Later that evening, Taylor approached Harry. “Am I going to embarrass you with my lack of dresses in London?”

He shook his head, pulling her down onto his lap. “Not at all. If it were the season, it would be harder, but it’s not.” He kissed her softly. “I had never thought of using my study in the manner I’m thinking of using it now.”

She laughed. “Any of the servants could walk in, so I’m going to say that’s a bad idea.”

He sighed dramatically. “Fine. I do think you’ll want to have several dresses made while we’re in town, because I don’t think I can leave you behind when I’m in town for parliament.”

“I would like that a great deal. I’ll need to have someone coach me through the correct manners, but I think I can handle most of it.”

“How do you know so much about England if you are from New York?” He still wasn’t sure she was from the twenty-first century, but she seemed to be telling him the truth about everything else.

“I read a lot of books about the Regency period of England, which is what this is considered. Mainly romance novels.”

He looked at her with wide eyes. “You read romance novels?”

“I do. Voraciously. I have a device hidden in our bedchamber with nothing but romance novels on it.
