Engagement Of Convenience (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
‘Yes?’ she answered testily as Davies entered the room. ‘Captain Russell and his guest have arrived.’ Tossing down the pencil, she sat back in the chair, needing just a few more minutes to finish balancing the accounts. ‘They’re early.’ ‘I believe they are on time.’ She looked at the windows, finally noticing how the sun and shadows had shifted in the garden and the room. ‘How long have I been working?’ ‘All morning, Miss Howard.’ ‘Then I’d better hurry and join them or I’ll never know a moment’s peace with Emily.’ Closing the ledger, she stood and started for the door. ‘Though I know Uncle George won’t mind my being late. He isn’t one for formality.’ ‘Excuse me, Miss Howard...’ Davies coughed ‘...perhaps a change of dress is advisable.’ She stopped, inspecting the riding habit skirt, her loose hair falling over her face. Bits of leaves stuck to the honey-coloured fabric, making the damp hem noticeable and emphasising the creases along with the habit’s older style.
