I mean, your grace." Kendra forced open her eyes to see Jane standing over her. "I've brought you some breakfast, or should I say dinner?" The maid set a tray on the bed. "It's late, and his grace is waiting to take you somewhere. A surprise, he said." "A surprise?" Struggling into a sitting position, Kendra reached for a cup of chocolate. "He said he had something to show me today, but—" "A surprise, yes." Jane's tall, thin figure disappeared into the dressing room. "He suggested you wear your simplest gown." The sound of wardrobes opening and closing came through the open door. "Why would that be?" Kendra asked. "Well, if you're not knowing, then how could I?" The maid came in with a peach-velvet gown. Other than a narrow edging of lace around the neckline and some wider matching lace that spilled from the wrists, the dress was plain. No overskirt, no jewels or embroidery on the stomacher. "Do you suppose this will do?" "I'm sure it's fine." Kendra slapped a slab of cheese on a slice of bread while Jane ducked into the dressing room again.
