Martha took the dance card back from him, a slight tremble in her frame. “Not yet, Lord Billington,” she answered, forcing herself to smile. “There are still many dances remaining that are, as yet, empty.”

“Ah, but do look behind you,” he told her with a smile. “I am sure that Lord Rochester has come to make amends, as I have done, for the time he did not treat you as you ought to have been, Lady Newton. And I believe that Lord Middlesex and Lord Abernathy are coming to join you also.”

Martha did not know what to say, her stomach twisting this way and that as she caught the eye of Lord Rochester, seeing him smile at her. Evidently, what Lord Billington had suggested was just as things were to be – which meant that, very soon, she might find herself dancing every single dance this evening. She looked up at the Marquess of Granton, hoping to see a flicker of a smile there, hoping to see relief that there was so much interest from so many other gentlemen but there was nothing but a heavy frown written on Lord Granton’s face. She did not know why and did not dare ask him but as Lord Rochester came to join them, that frown only grew deeper. Was she doing something wrong? Ought she not to be accepting every dance that was asked of her? Or was there something more to the Marquess’ dark expression?
