Chapter Nine

Agatha had waited all day to hear news, in vain. When a carriage rattled to a stop outside she flew down the steps to discover the viscount stepping into the front hall, dressed splendidly in deep green and white.

"You're not dressed, Miss Chase," he admonished.

"Where is my brother?" she demanded.

He ran his gloves through his hand, but she wasn't sure if that was simply a sign of impatience. "Fox is still out looking for Trouble. As there is nothing we can presently do, I thought it best to keep my commitment to take you to the Sorrel ball."

"I'm not going to a ball while my brother is still unaccounted for," she said indignantly.

"How else are you to, how did you put it? Sell yourself off in marriage if you don't display your wares? Fox assures me that Trouble has that nickname for a reason. Problems are expensive, Miss Chase. And like most things, are even more so in the city."

There was an awful, terrible logic to what he said. He was horrible and arrogant and she would prefer never to see him again, but he was correct. And even if she was beginning to loath him, he was the only one here offering to escort her. She turned back and hollered up the steps, beyond caring what anyone thought. "Lady Grace, we're going to the ball after all!"
