Eulogy's Secret (The Huntley Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
Seated at his desk, through gritted teeth he re-read the letter he’d been staring at for ten minutes, only to push it away in disgust. It was no good, he just couldn’t concentrate. His mouth set in a hard line. Miss Foster had done this to him with her stand-offish behavior and inexplicable coolness. Then he groaned and balled his fists. No, that was precisely the point, he was at fault, he should have realized she was terrified of heights, and yet he’d been so determined to make an impression. He laughed bitterly. Oh yes, he’d done that all right and now she never wanted to speak to him again. He rose, his hooded eyes troubled, as he set to pacing the floor. To make matters worse, it was becoming increasingly clear that the phaeton crash was anything but an accident. Hands clenched behind his back, Huntley regarded his favorite Reynauld portrait, the one of Emma Hart dressed as a shepherdess, usually guaranteed to calm his mind, but today he saw only a colored blur as the stable lad’s words echoed round his mind.
