Chapter Eighteen

Sally closed the door and popped the umbrella back in the elephant-foot container. “Nasty weather, miss. What a shame you had to travel in it.”

“Dismal. Is my mother with my father?”

“Yes, miss.”

Since they had only the one maid now, Cressida carried her own valise and hatbox up to her room, trying not to imagine the handle still warm from St. Raven’s hand. In her room, she paused to take off her gloves, bonnet, and curl-trimmed cap, then went to visit her parents.

She found her father asleep and her mother knitting. Louisa Mandeville had always claimed that knitting was soothing. Since her husband’s attack, she must have knitted enough shawls and mufflers for half the poor in London.

She looked up, gray eyes weary, but they brightened. “Cressida, dear! I didn’t expect you back for days. Did I?” she trailed off uncertainly.
