At the Earl's Convenience
““Lurking near Halcrow woods, too, apparently. I’ve been keeping a look out, but haven’t set eyes on him.”
“Do you think he’s a poacher?”
He shook his head. “Not by the sound of him. He wasn’t dressed like a local man.”
“Thank you for telling me, Brier.” Could he have been here to see Devereux? “If he’s found on Halcrow land, please come straight to me.”
“As you wish, my lady.”
Tapping her chin, Selina walked the length of the library as a sense of urgency built. She couldn’t wait one more day. If Devereux was in England, he’d be in London. She would go to the city and confront him. No doubt, he’d be angry with her, but his anger would be easier to bear than being kept in the dark. It wasn’t unusual for gentlemen of the ton to leave their wives rusticating in the country while they kicked up their heels in London. But he’d expressed the need for an heir, so that made little sense. Whatever his reason, she wouldn’t allow him to continue treating her in this outrageous manner.
