Tracie Peterson & Judith Miller - [Lights Of Lowell 01] - Plot & Excerpts
There were no visible locks or bars on the doors, but the home had become her prison just the same. Although Mrs. Houston had readily agreed she could go into town for lace-making supplies, Kiara knew she must be back before suppertime. If Mr. Houston became aware of her treks into Lowell by herself, there was no doubt the mistress would suffer his wrath. Neither of them mentioned the possibility, but they both realized they would be punished for not seeking his permission. They also knew he would not grant his consent if they asked. She’d sent word to Bridgett she’d be in town, but likely Bridgett would be at work in the mills. However, even a few minutes with her friend would be a pleasure. Quickening her pace, she hurried into Paxton’s and handed the woman the note Mrs. Houston had given her. ‘‘I’ll be needin’ some lace-makin’ supplies,’’ Kiara said. Mrs. Paxton led her to the back of the store, where Kiara had first purchased supplies when she and Jasmine had come to town.
