Knight And The Witch 02 - A Summer Bewitchment - Plot & Excerpts
Magnus counted two towers and twenty banners, two jetties and three floors, a great hall, two kitchens and a bath house. Plenty of laundresses here. “How can this lord want more?” Elfrida whispered. His generous wench did not understand greed. “What kind of manners will they have?” she went on. “I do not want to shame you.” “Never that, my heart,” he said easily. He knew it was the snobbish poison of Lady Astrid that inspired his wife’s fears, but part of him was disappointed. Does she not realize by now that I am never ashamed of her? What does she fear of me, that I will repudiate her because she uses the wrong knife for her meat? And yet, are we not alike in this? I fear ridicule from my looks. She fears ridicule from her class. He hugged her with his thighs. “Should you make any mistake, I will accept kisses as excuses.” As he hoped, that made her laugh. A greater joy to him was the greeting given to him and his people by a crusty house steward. Already awaiting them outside the manor steps, the elderly retainer at once informed him that their chamber had been made ready.
