Chapter Fifteen

“Finished the scrumping?”

Arabella grinned at her sister, reminded of less respectable days spent in the apple orchard. “Yes, thank you. It kept me out of Nathaniel’s way nicely.”

“I still think you should come home with me.” Caroline carefully drew on her gloves. “You’re not safe in this house with only Nathaniel for company.”

“Peter will be back soon,” Arabella ventured.

“Are you sure?” Arabella stared at Caroline, startled by the inference. Caroline pursed her lips. “The man is a libertine, and he got nowhere with you—at least I hope he didn’t. He also has a lot of problems, and a new life.”

“He wants to know why his brother died,” Arabella reminded her, voice tight with tension. She would find it hard to support, if he didn’t come back. It would be understandable, but he promised. She wanted to believe him, to trust his word.

“He may have to accept it was an accident, as I have,” Caroline said. “That tower was built hundreds of years ago and it can’t be very safe up there. I don’t know why he went, but he did, and he fell. That’s all there is to it.” She turned away to adjust the veil on her bonnet, and Arabella let her, even though she saw the tears in Caroline’s eyes. It was best she said no more.
