Chapter 11

Saturday morning dawned bright and clear. For half an hour, Katherine lay awake in bed listening to the rich clear notes of a blackbird in an apple tree before drifting back to sleep in the knowledge that it wasn’t going to rain on her wedding day and all would be well. But, unseen, the clouds were gathering over the wild stretches of the New Forest and it seemed that they had one direction in mind – Purley Hall.

By mid-morning, the first fat raindrops were falling, pit-pattering on rooftops and sliding down windowpanes. The florist had arrived with a team of helpers who were busy decorating the hall and the library where the ceremony was going to take place as well as the marquee and the temple on the island, dodging the showers as best as they could. Dame Pamela was flitting around, casting her eyes to the lavender-coloured sky and shaking her head in dismay at the pearly curtain of rain.

‘This is not what we ordered, Higgins,’ she said to the butler who was in the library where the chairs were being set out for the wedding ceremony.

‘No, madam,’ he said.

‘I only hope the sun makes an appearance before the bride does.’
