The Incredible Honeymoon (Bantam Series No. 46) - Plot & Excerpts
The Chef had excelled himself in order to impress the Duke’s numerous relations who had accepted his invitation to stay at Doncaster Park for his wedding.The Duke realised that most of them came with not only a sense of relief that he was doing his duty to the family so that he could produce an heir, but also considerable curiosity.They had none of them met Antonia: their innumerable suggestions that he should take her to Receptions, Dinner-parties or even Balls in London for the purpose of introducing her to the family had met with no response.‘There will be quite enough for them to talk about tomorrow,’ he thought.As if the idea of his wedding weighed heavily upon him, the Duke made an excuse to the cousin sitting next to him and went from the Dining-Room, aware that most of the party had not noticed his departure.He walked across the huge marble hall which in Adam’s inimitable manner was decorated with classical sculpture set in alcoves, and ignoring the row of attentive footmen, walked down the front steps.Reaching the gravel sweep in front of the house he turned not towards the garden but to the stables.It was later than he expected it to be.
