The footman!” He opened his eyes and blinked. “My lord, please hurry,” Mary pleaded. “What time is it?” He reached for his dressing gown, patting around the bed. “Stay where you are, I’ll get it.” Serena disentangled herself from him and sat up.

Robert entered his bedchamber and was met by Henley’s look of long suffering.
