Angel In Scarlet: A Bound And Determined Novel - Plot & Excerpts
Angela sat between Lord Peter and Mr. Wilkes—both young enough, both eligible, both of reasonable countenance—and was bored silly. No, that was not fair to either of the gentlemen. They were both perfectly pleasant. She just found every demand on her attention trying. She didn’t want to discuss common friends and which ball they had attended during the past season. She didn’t even want to hear of Mr. Wilkes’s time at Oxford and his studies of the ancient Greeks. She wanted to be alone. No, she wanted to talk to Colton. No, the last thing she wanted was to talk to Colton. If possible, she wanted to never see him again. Which was of course difficult when he sat just down the table, talking to Mrs. Links. He was too far away for Angela to hear his conversation, but did he have to look so entertained? She was miserable and he looked as if he was having the most wonderful of times. He’d probably get up and swing into a waltz in a moment. And why did Mrs. Links think that gown was appropriate for dinner?
