Little did Jewel know everyone was staring at her. The women chattered among themselves, green with envy, wondering who this lovely creature with the Duke of St. Ives could be. They spoke of her beauty, and especially her clothing.

“There is not another dress in the room that can even come close to its richness,” one lady commented. “Have you noticed, the dress is the duke’s colors? What do you suppose that means?”

Colette happened to be in one of the groups when she overheard that particular comment. “It doesn’t signify a thing. As you all know, Adam will be asking for my hand in the very near future.”

“Not if he’s around that young woman very much,” commented a stiff matron with graying hair.

Another young woman joined in the conversation, “I envy you, Colette, if you do marry Lord Trent. He’s so handsome.” The young woman giggled as she stood dreamy-eyed. “Just look at him tonight. He’s dashing, and by far the best-looking man here.”

“You’re right, of course, I’m a very lucky lady. And if you will all excuse me, I think I shall go over and join him now.” Colette swept away from the group.

She stopped by the refreshments table, having grown extremely warm. Slowly, she sipped the cool champagne, remembering Adam’s last words to her. He had led her to believe that this woman she saw before her was a mere child. The girl was young, but she was in every sense a woman. Colette frowned. She had seen the way every man’s head had turned when the woman entered the room. She would have to inform the young chit just what kind of relationship she and Adam had.
