The Mysterious Death Of Mr. Darcy - Plot & Excerpts
Darcy Chapter 23 Darcy reined in the horse before Woodvine’s main entrance. There was not a muscle in his body which did not scream out in protest, and the knife wound had opened again to burn with hell’s fire. It could not be more than eight of the clock, but Darcy desperately required a bath and his bed, preferably with his wife within his arms. The young groom, whom Mr. Holbrook had described as an orphan, scrambled to catch up the horse. “Holbrook will be bringing in a wagon. I came ahead.” The head groom had secured a flat wagon in which to escort Mrs. Jacobs to Woodvine. “Aye, Sir.” Darcy wearily made his way up the main steps. Without the butler, there would be no one to greet him, so Darcy let himself into the manor house. The halls were deathly silent. “Anyone about?” he bellowed. Despite the fact his wife’s chambers faced the rear gardens, Darcy half expected her to scramble down the stairs to launch herself into his embrace. Unsurprisingly, Mr. Sheffield appeared on the landing.
