A Lady Of Notoriety (The Masquerade Club) - Plot & Excerpts
Even Wynne’s warning to rest his eyes would not stop him. He unpacked his greatcoat and arranged to have his trunk shipped to his mother’s house in London. He purchased the horse he’d been riding for nearly two weeks and settled generous vails on the cottage servants. Daphne, if that was her name, was not the only one who could be generous. With one last look at the place he’d been unable to see, he bid the servants goodbye and mounted the horse. Let it rain, let the heavens pour down on him, he did not care. He wanted to be away from this place. He needed the open road. He needed the air. He needed freedom. A carriage would close him in like a coffin and trap him with his own thoughts. London was less than a day’s ride away, but he took it slowly, not changing horses, instead sticking with his old equine friend, who had offered him such essential diversion when he’d needed it. She had arranged that diversion. How was he to make sense of that?
