Chapter 16

The last-minute invitation was an olive branch. The French ambassador had offered Guy a private, guided tour of the new exhibit at the Louvre before the exhibit opened to the public tomorrow. Guy could bring ten guests. Only the finest elite of Paris would attend this exclusive showing, and the British were allowed to mingle with them this evening.

And he had stopped calling for his resignation.

But at what cost? How had Guy risen so high in his counterpart’s esteem overnight? His head of staff delivered the invitation with a knowing smile on his face. “Late evening?”

Guy read the gilded invitation and immediately wrote a response to accept it. He was restoring England in the good graces of France, but he had Octavia’s reputation to worry about. “Don’t allow anyone into my personal library, my office, my chambers, or anywhere they shouldn’t be.” He couldn’t dream of all the ways Octavia could get into mischief, but he hoped that last bit might at least cover some of her potential for trouble.

Guy fought the throb in his temples that had accompanied him since he woke. He had a headache most days now, with so little sleep and so much to do.

He sealed the letter. “Please have this delivered immediately. I’ll be attending the Louvre tonight. Inform my mother, the Shelfords, the undersecretaries, and the Prouttons that they are invited to a tour of the exhibit this evening at eight o’clock.”
