“I did. Noble families send their sons away to school at too young an age. I never completed classes anywhere until I graduated from Sandhurst.”

The military academy. If he knew Stephen from school, where did they study together?

After her guilty admission, Cassie couldn’t gauge if Stephen felt differently toward her. He had used his “outrage” to extract a concession from Blake.

A mile or so south, the road passed through a narrow forest. These woodlands were probably set aside for the tenants to collect firewood. Among the trees stood small farmhouses. The last house showed signs of a recent fire; roof caved in, burnt walls, the yard littered with debris.

At the crossroads, arrow-shaped signs pointed toward Stockwell to the west and Brixton to the east. Another sign read CAMBERWELL LANE. Up that road, a farm wagon came toward them. In the other direction, two men tried to herd an enormous hog back to his pen.

Blake said, “The houses we just passed are the Cold Harbour settlement. How can we walk into the woods without looking suspicious?”

Cassie pulled the cap off her head and uncoiled her braid. “We are having a picnic in the woods.”

“Since you are accompanied by two gentlemen,” he said, “you must act like a girl of questionable repute.”

She shook out her braid and ran her hands through her hair. “Is this alluring enough?”

He grinned. “Shake your hips when you walk.”

She did, and his grin turned to a toothy smile.

No fence separated the forest from the hay fields. Grass and weeds grew dense under the trees. To escort her through the thicket, her gentlemen friends each took an arm. Several yards back, they came to a large weeping willow. The trailing branches created a space on the ground about forty feet across. With less sunlight, the undergrowth here was sparse.
