Sir Philip's Folly (The Poor Relation Series Book 4) - Plot & Excerpts
—WILLIAM CONGREVE Sir Philip felt uneasy next day. Something was going on, something that excluded him. Miss Tonks had told him of the plan to crop Arabella’s hair and Lady Fortescue informed him that the Dessops had been about to leave without settling their bill but that Colonel Sandhurst had handled the matter beautifully. Although he had often complained in the past that he was the one who had to sort out all their problems, he had enjoyed the attention and now he felt old and useless. Also there was an atmosphere, an air of suppressed excitement. They were up to something, he thought, and that something did not include him. In order to try to win his way back into Lady Fortescue’s good graces, he returned to the flat next door and roused his beloved and told her she was expected to help as chambermaid in the hotel. “But o’ course, sweetheart,” she said, shifting her bulk against the pillows. “But my back is somewhat sore. I’ve always had trouble with my back. Perhaps if you could get Despard to send over some of his jellied chicken, it would help me to recover.”
