As the heavy oak door
closed, a waft of air disturbed the velvet curtain that shielded
Sorcha. She drew her knees up closer, until they touched her chest,
breathed in and touched the silver locket that hung around her neck.
She held her breath and hoped fervently that she would not be
discovered. Her prayers were to no
avail, however, as a strong, tanned hand drew back the curtain.
"Well well. What
do we have here? Who are you? A thief and a stowaway maybe?"
All colour drained from
Sorcha's face and she looked up, a little frightened, into the face
of a tall, rather dashing stranger dressed in a naval uniform. She
reckoned him to be about thirty and appeared from the markings on his
uniform to have an officers rank. Sorcha reconed from his voice he was used to giving orders, although at this moment his blue eyes
sparkled and he was doing his utmost not to smile at her.
Sorcha climbed down
from the windowseat and handed him the book. "If you please Sir,
I'm Sorcha, the new maid. I only wanted to borrow the book for a few
minutes, I promise not to do it again."
Oh, I hope she isn't in too much trouble.
