Any other time I would have been excited. I was not conscious of being driven home. I wanted to creep straight up to my room, but as I came into Kensington Palace the door to the sitting room was open and Marina and the countess were having tea. “Lovely hot crumpets,” Marina called, waving at me. “Come and get warm. It’s horribly cold today, isn’t it?” So of course I had no option but to join them. I saw Irmtraut studying me with a smug look on her face. “Ah, you return at last, Georgiana. Her Highness wondered where you had gone. I hope you have had a pleasant day?” she said. “About as pleasant as yours, I should think,” I said. “Mine has been disagreeable,” she said. “Somebody in this place has been spying on me. What do you think of that? And saying bad things about me.” “Surely not.” I leaned over and poured myself a cup of tea.
