Mister Frank shook his head and smiled.
“Miss Morgana might be a woman of distasteful character, but she is one of the finest hosts. It will be one worth attending,” Mister Frank said.
“If that is the case, draft a reply letter accepting the invitation and send it to her.”
Mister Frank nodded and walked out of the room.
Miss Helena might have been invited. I would love to get a chance to dance with her.
Dr Frederick had not slept soundly since that day in the garden at the Baron of Strabolgi’s house.
What if? What if the maid had not come back?
Dr Frederick picked up his laboratory notes, only the rigours of research had been able to capture his attention, and not completely. He had managed to extract the small compound from the pancreas of the puppy. The puppy was dead now, so he needed another to test the effects of his extract on. Mister Frank had put in his request at the animal home for another one, but he was told it could only be ready next week. Dr Frederick could not wait for the coming week. He couldn’t wait for the end of this week either. He would visit Miss Helena once again.
His member hardened and grew with the thoughts of the planned visit. He would check her ankle, first. Make sure it was entirely healthy. He didn’t think about what would happen next. His body did that for him. The rise of her bust tormented his mind. How he couldn’t get a grip on the stud of her nipple beneath the gossamer fabric of her dress still frustrated him.
It has to be her shift that kept deucing me.
Dr Frederick placed his hand on his member as it pulled up against his breech. He pushed it back down. He couldn’t manage to think about the visit without his body responding. He had never been so excited because of one woman in his life.

Lord Jeffrey visited Helena once again during the week. He came in a carriage with gifts of fine silk for Helena’s father. Helena was caught unprepared and was pleasantly surprised by his actions.
Lady Lavinia and Helena had just finished a game of cards that Helena had quickly lost. She lost interest in the game and refused to play again despite Lady Lavinia’s plentiful requests and pleading. At last, Lady Lavinia summoned Miss Justina, who was inside the house, to play with her as Helena busied herself with another book she had gotten from her father’s library. Lady Lavinia’s shrieks of despair told Helena she was losing the game. Helena looked at Miss Justina, only the small crinkling at the sides of her mouth showed how pleased she was at the way the game was going.
“How are your cards so favourably selected?” Lady Lavinia asked.
Helena smiled.
“You wouldn’t be asking that if you were winning,” she said.
“Just read your book,” Lady Lavinia responded harshly.
Helena opened her book again and looked at it when the entrance door burst open. Mr Booth came into the sitting room.
“Mr Booth,” Helena said.
“Good day, my ladies,” Mr Booth said, tipping his hat.
“The Marquess of Beaufort is outside, awaiting your attention,” he said.
“Lord Jeffrey?” Lady Lavinia asked.
“Yes, ma’am,” Mr Booth responded.
Lady Lavinia jumped to her feet.
“Do get up, Lord Jeffrey is here. Will you not go into your chamber and in the least, powder your face,” Lady Lavinia said to her friend.
Helena sluggishly stood up then walked down the corridor. She opened the door of her room and went inside. She walked to the dressing table and looked into the mirror.
Truly, my face looks a bit flushed.
She decided to change her dress. She was in a morning gown since she hadn’t received any visitors that day. She removed her dress and petticoat. She wore a chemise instead because of the short gown she intended to put on. She wore the short, blue gown then turned to the mirror.
I look fine.
