Bab 282: A Mother

      Delaney slept in fairly late but her husband slept in even later.  She crept out of their bed, pulled on her robe, and hurried back to her old bedroom.  Ms. Bird was already there waiting and gave her a knowing smile.

      "Did you and Lord Adair mend things then?"

      Delaney nodded, a big smile on her lips.  Her maid came forward and took her hand, giving it a squeeze.

      "Good!"

    Ms. Bird had sent one of the men that had come with them from Honeywell to the dressmakers that morning to see if one of the dresses they had asked after for her mistress was complete.  Thankfully the dressmaker had already had one high-waisted gown just waiting for someone to need it so she was quick to make the adjustments and send it along.
