Duke Of Thorns (Heiress Games 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Thorington asked.The small sitting room Thorington had found for this interview was decorated with elaborately scrolling rococo woodwork from the previous century, too fussy to be imposing. But Mrs. Jennings twisted her hands in her lap. “Nearly twenty years, your grace. Lady Tiberius, rest her soul, hired me as a nursemaid to accompany them to Europe, and I stayed on after she passed.”She hadn’t picked up the cup of tea he had insisted she pour for herself. She sat rigidly in her chair — the chair he had practically forced her into, since she didn’t think it proper to sit with him. Thorington often used his power to overwhelm other members of his class, but he rarely did so with servants.But now that he wanted a servant to give him a direct answer, his power and title thwarted him. Her answers thus far had been nearly monosyllabic.And nothing she said could give him any clues to Callista’s secrets.He smiled encouragingly, a gambit he usually didn’t employ when interrogating someone.
