She arrived at the stables to find a small chestnut mare standing placidly, her reins looped over the arm of a smiling groom. ‘Good morning, Miss Roberts, the master says I am to accompany you wherever you wish to go. You’ll not come to any harm on Bess here, she is as quiet and gentle as a lamb.’

Cassie took the reins and turned to allow him to toss her up into the saddle. She placed her knee around the pommel and rammed her other foot home in the stirrup iron. Then she carefully adjusted the skirts of her habit and was ready to go. As they clattered out onto the circle in front of the house a young footman ran down the steps waving a letter.

‘Miss Roberts, this note has just arrived from the village, the boy said that it were urgent.’

She frowned. Why should anyone be sending her a note as she knew no one living there? Then she smiled, she knew it was from – Ann had arrived and, finding her cottage occupied, was contacting her for advice.

She urged her mare across to the footman and leant down to the take the note. The paper was folded and sealed with a blob of plain red wax. She dropped her reins, she twisting them round her knee, sure the animal would remain still whilst she perused her letter. She recognised the handwriting immediately.
