Lady Emma's Dilemma (9781101573662) (2005) - Plot & Excerpts
With a heavy sense of foreboding, he reached the landing and paused to look at himself in the ornately framed mirror hanging on the hallway wall. He wanted to make sure that not even a speck of lint marred his snuff brown coat and that his simply tied neckcloth was not unduly limp. He frowned at his reflection, not really liking the garment’s conservative lapel and cuffs, but grandfather disliked any article of clothing that appeared excessively fashionable. Glancing down, he saw with relief that his boots had not attracted any dust on his short walk from the drive. Straightening his shoulders, he continued down the wide hall, passing portrait after portrait of his ancestors, but did not hurry his steps. He’d get there soon enough, he thought resentfully.

As he drew near, the footmen standing on either side of the imposing double doors bowed in unison before opening them.
