Marguerite retreated to the gardens every morning after breakfast, whether it was pouring rain or blistering heat. As far as her husband was concerned, she went out there to read. As far as she was concerned, it was to write her letters in peace and quiet, away from prying eyes. How else could she find the best gossip?

While in London, her habits did not alter by far. Rather than spend her time indoors, she ordered the terrace windows opened wide and the room aired. When that did not help, she moved to the small terrace and tried to put her thoughts in order.

A servant, as usual, interrupted.

"A young woman is asking for you, Madam," he stammered. "She claims you gave her your card at the Ambassador's ball..."

Annoyance gave way to satisfaction. "Show her in."

"Although should a widow be too blissful, there is going to be a certain amount of suspicion." Harry points out. "But we shall have to discuss the matter of... expenses at a later date. Although I am in no doubt as to your honesty, Marguerite, I am not the sort of man who takes actions on the promise of payment. Perhaps you should inform your husband of your need for a new dress. No doubt he will not notice if your wardrobe never contains it."

He gets to his feet, moving around her to the door opening back onto the landing. "But we can discuss the matter later. If you need me, Marguerite, you will find me at the Bridge Theatre." He says, with a bow. "And I hope you enjoy the rest of your morning."
