Difficult and yet all too easy, for there remained something in him that reminded her still of Southorn. She doubted she would ever fully trust such a man. Nonetheless, she surprised herself by saying, “In that case, yes. You may call if ever you find yourself in town. I’m sure my brother would be interested in meeting you.” It was true. Lord Litchfield was the most fascinating man of her acquaintance. Perhaps that was why she had said yes. Now she didn’t regret the invitation as the train picked up speed and Lord Litchfield’s black cloaked figure faded into the distance.
