Rowena (Regency Belles Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
‘Now then, Ellie, lass. Calm yerself and tell us what’s ailing you.’ Mrs Yomkins patted her shoulder. Ellie sobbed and leaned towards her. Her shoulder connected with the cook’s bony hip. For a cook, Mrs Yomkins was less well-padded than most of her kind. In fact she was the skinniest cook in the county, something which caused significant comment well outside the Marchment household. She was nonetheless a kind-hearted woman. ‘Come on, dearie. Take a deep breath and tell us what’s up.’ Ellie sniffed. ‘It’s Miss Amabelle. She’s gone to Lyngham. On her own.’ ‘Oo er,’ said Bryonie. ‘I thought she weren’t allowed out.’ ‘I don’t think she is. She still hasn’t taken his lordship.’ Another sniff. ‘At least she hadn’t this morning.’ The cook straightened up from patting Ellie’s shoulder. ‘She oughtn’t to be doing that. Not on her own.’ A frown. ‘Are you sure?’ ‘Yes . . . well . . . almost.’ Ellie said between sniffs.
