The Captain's Mysterious Lady (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
He was invited to sit down and share it with them. He did so, but he had eyes only for Amy. She was wearing the blue gown he liked so much and Susan had done her hair, but she was looking strained, which was no wonder, poor thing. What she had been through was enough to crush the strongest constitution. But it was over now and he meant to make sure she never suffered another moment’s anxiety. He smiled at her and she smiled back, her lovely eyes lighting up with pleasure at seeing him. The conversation was all about what had happened the night before. James told them all he had learned from Sam, that Gotobed had been caught, and that Randle and Smith had been staying with Sir Gerald. It was they who encouraged him to revive his claim to the Manor. ‘Cousin Gerald was involved!’ Harriet exclaimed. ‘Yes. He thought if he could drive you out, he could search the house at his leisure. When that failed, he told them the best way to get in.’ ‘I knew he was a muckworm,’ Harriet said.
