“My lady, wake up,” came Maggie’s voice through Thea’s sleepy haze.

Thea shook herself awake and glanced around. She was sitting in a corner of a corridor in her wheelchair and she’d clearly been asleep from some time. “What time is it?” she groggily asked Maggie who was smiling down at her, her arms folded over her chest.

“Nearly four o’clock,” was Maggie’s reply.

“In the afternoon?” Thea asked. Where was she? And what had she been do— She glanced around and searched her memory. “Lord Clayton’s houseguest. I never found her.”

“By the looks of things, you didn’t get too far,” Maggie replied. “You’re only around the corner from your own room.”

“What? What happened? I feel asleep?” Thea shook her groggy head, still not fully comprehending what happened.

“Laudanum will do that to a person,” Maggie replied in a singsong voice.

“Laudanum? But I didn’t have any laud—” Thea sat up straighter and glared at the maid. “My tea! Margaret Mary Hill, you put laudanum in my tea this morning, didn’t you? I knew it had a strange taste.”

“I warned you to mind your own affairs,” Maggie replied.

“You know how I am,” Thea insisted, trying desperately to back her chair from the corner.

“Yes, I do, which is precisely why I put laudanum in your tea. Now, I’m taking you back to your bedchamber to begin preparing for dinner. Lord Clayton has asked that you join him in the dining room once again.”
