Moonlight Surrender (Moonlight Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
He knew that Beth was partial to tea, and he was partial to Beth. He looked up in surprise as the solemnly driven entourage came down the backstairs and poured into the kitchen. The tea was forgotten as he looked upon the lifeless body in Duncan’s arms. Jacob bolted to his feet, upsetting the stool upon which he sat. “What’s happened?” he asked Duncan. “Madam Beaulieu has died, Jacob,” Duncan informed him tersely. “Mademoiselle says that there are shovels in the shed in the garden. Fetch them. We have to bury Beth’s grandmother quickly.” It was not in Jacob’s nature to question why. It was enough that Duncan bade him do it. He hurried from the house. They worked as swiftly as they were able, two men digging the hole that was to be Denise Beaulieu’s final resting place. As they worked, Beth solemnly wrapped the small body in the sheet that she had taken from her grandmother’s bed. Beth’s hands shook, but she managed to keep back her tears. They would not do her grandmother any good now, and the show of despair might weaken her great-aunt’s resolve.
