Passion And Propriety (Hearts Of Honour Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
In an attempt to solve the problem, he tucked the bouquet under his left arm. That left him with the cane, the chocolates, and only one good hand. He could shove the chocolates under his right arm but he might drop the lot and end up looking ridiculous. Well, more ridiculous than he already felt. “Can I ’elp ye, me lord?” the footman asked as he held the door to the carriage. “I could carry the gifts up to the door for ye.” William glowered, wishing he could direct the driver to return to the manor. What sort of gentleman couldn’t even go courting without assistance? A lace curtain fell back into place behind one of the vicarage’s front windows, and he sighed. It was too late to retreat now. His arrival had been noted. “Yer Lordship?” the brave young footman persisted. “Very well.” William handed him the flowers and chocolates before alighting from the carriage, cane firmly in hand. The last thing he needed was for his leg to give way halfway down the path. Further down the road, some children had suspended their game to stand and stare, as had a group of women clustered together outside a row of cottages.
