MacLeod did not accompany us today,” Maddie said as she and Mari stepped down from the carriage in front of Wittnower’s Book Emporium the next afternoon. “He always escorts us—I mean, you.” “He received a post from Ian this morning,” Mari replied. “His brother is at Cantford and expects to be in London in a few days. I think there was some question about the ledgers. Jamie was going to contact Ian’s solicitor here so whatever it was would be cleared. Anyhow,” Mari continued as she gestured to the footmen who stood not far away, “Robin and Joseph are now armed to the teeth with all sorts of weapons I assume Jamie thinks they know how to use.” She shook her head. “Not that there is likely to be danger lurking about a bookstore in the middle of the day.” Mari pushed open the door and entered the rather musty-smelling shop. A few dust mites floated in the dim shafts of clouded sunshine filtering through narrow windows. She coughed. “I will be ready for an ice once we get your book.”
