Most Rebellious Debutante (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
A number of them, all former servants of the Montcliffes, had been recruited to give the Hall a thorough cleaning and an army of outdoor labourers began to tidy the grounds under the orders of Thornley, the previous head gardener. It was Peggy, the upstairs maid who had brought a jug of hot water to Lucy’s room for her morning wash, who excitedly told Lucy that her mam and da were well pleased. ‘Da’s had to get work wherever he could since her ladyship left,’ she confided to Lucy, ‘but now he’s hoping to get taken on full-time again. It’ll make heaps of difference.’ ‘Is it known who is returning to the Hall?’ Lucy asked carefully. ‘Is it just her ladyship? Or is Theo … er … Lord Rockhaven coming as well?’‘I dunno, miss. I ’spect we’ll find out soon enough. Oh, isn’t it loverly, though? It’s said her ladyship will be back before Christmas.’Lucy agreed. She was sure Marissa would allow her to visit Lady Montcliffe if she were still here when her ladyship was back in residence and, hopefully, she would then discover what Lord Rockhaven’s plans were.
