Ducal Encounters 03 - Portrait Of A Duke - Plot & Excerpts
Short of sleep, all she really wanted to do was set off for the Park so her grandfather could make a start on the duke’s portrait. Sophia had sent word to say he was bright-eyed and lucid that morning but Nia knew that situation could change at any moment. Time was of the essence. “Annie, where are the boys? Have they had their breakfast yet?” “I’m not too sure, miss.” Nia strove for patience. Annie could be strong-willed and sometimes seemed to forget she was there to serve them; not the other way around. “Well, find them, if you please, as quickly as you can.” “I need a word, Miss Trafford,” Mr. Drake said as he strode into the kitchen, a room which to her particular knowledge he had never before ventured into. “Not now, Mr. Drake.” “I’m sorry, but it cannot wait.” “What is so important?” Nia, aware that he would not leave until he had had his say, impatiently pushed the hair back from her face, the ribbon holding it back having already come undone. She should have taken a few minutes to put her hair up properly, but there always seemed to be something more important to do with her time.
