Liberty Hill (Western Tide Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Evelyn felt the compulsion to explain.“We were hardly more than children when we were betrothed, but our friendship had long since been at an end. The betrothal meant nothing to Lucius. Rather, he became quite unruly. He was recurrently discovered philandering with some hussy or another: a fact that was initially, I’ll admit, quite bothersome. I suppose I thought my father would take notice and call off the engagement, but he never did. I was frightfully angry. Angry with my father, who had turned a blind eye, and especially angry with Lucius, because he had been such a sensible child and yet here he was, making a complete idiot of himself before the entire city of New York. And no one did anything about it! I kept thinking, ‘Lucius, you are better than this!’ But after so much tomfoolery, I started to question whether he really was. Then I thought to myself, ‘Well, he may not be better, but I certainly am!’ And from that moment on, I wanted nothing more to do with him. And then there was the incident in the pub with my father.
