Milton’s son the day before, a man who hadn’t behaved at all like she’d expected, Isabel was determined to hold the upper hand when he returned. Or as much as she’d be allowed to given that her future was dependent on him. She couldn’t very well force him to allow her to remain at the house once he took possession of it. When she’d learned from Mrs. Milton’s solicitor that she had left her a small bequest, she’d been speechless with gratitude and affection for the older woman. Fifty pounds wasn’t a lot of money—it certainly was nothing compared to what Isabel’s family had once been worth—but she’d immediately envisioned moving somewhere remote and setting herself up in a small cottage. It would require careful management, but surely she could find some type of work to augment that money. She was a fair hand with a needle and could take in sewing. She wasn’t afraid of hard work, and if she saved and was very careful, it was possible she could make that money stretch.
