I woke up with a start when I heard voices in the hall. I blinked at the seemingly sudden darkness in my room. Glancing at my clock, I realized it was a quarter past four... I suddenly heard Candace's raised voice and another voice in concert with it, a somehow familiar voice... &quot;Now, did you say her room was the second or the third?&quot; &quot;I said nothing of the sort! Sir, you _cannot_ go in there! Lady Huxtable is not present at the moment and she does not allow Miss Delacourt to receive gentlemen callers without a suitable chaperon present! Furthermore, that is Miss Delacourt's _bedroom!_&quot; &quot;You seem a suitable enough chaperon to me, Madam.&quot; The door opened and a tall man in riding boots stood there. It was Lord Windham. I saw a strange glitter in his eyes as he stood there looking down at me, and I suddenly realized I was lying in bed with the covers thrown off, plus my night-shift had hitched up while I was sleeping and my legs were currently quite bare. With a shriek, I yanked the covers over my head. 2008-05-07T00:02:54Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29443 <p>haha, fantastic.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/29443?basename=60706 2008-05-07T00:02:54Z Dreamer http://ficlets.com/authors/dreamer <p>Well, I haven&#8217;t read anything else of this series, so it looks like I will have some catching up to do.
