‘And I have already made it quite clear that it will be some time before I am able to accompany my wife on such a visit. I hope sister that you see how inappropriate it would be for a bride of only a few months to make such a journey without her husband.’

Both sisters stood in alarm at Lord Tremayne’s voice. How long had the gentlemen been behind them? How much had been heard of the conversation. Dorothea was the first to recover.

‘I see no impropriety in a daughter giving priority to the recovery of a beloved father sir!’

Alex addressed Charles Brook over his shoulder, voice deceptively calm, his eyes holding the bright blue ones of his sister-in-law with a glint of pure steel.

‘Brook, may I suggest we escort the ladies in to dine before this conversation travels further down an assuredly rocky road?’

It was a clear command that Charles should curb his wife in her defiance and though Dorothea was stiff with indignation, she laid her hand on the arm her husband proffered and allowed herself to be led from the room.

All the while Catherine stood, silent watching. Alex held out his arm.

‘My lady?’

She hesitated a moment, eyes holding his, deep violet, unreadable. Then she gave him her hand and they followed the others.

‘I saw no letter to your father lady.’

‘No, we found we had so much news to relate that we quite forgot to write. I will see to it in the morning.’
