"Of course, ma'am. If that is all, I must check our fences."
She waved her hand. "Go do your farm work and stay far away from Serenity House."
"Ma'am." We both dropped curtseys and scurried away. We barely made it through the kitchen door when I grabbed Alice around the middle in a massive hug. She squealed, but hugged me back.
"Thank you," I whispered. "You just saved my skin."
"Horrid old cow, as if I would tell her you drove off with him. Louise hid in the tent until it was all over, so she never saw a thing. Just lucky Seth and Frank look similar, people often get them confused." She straightened her cap that I had knocked sideways with my enthusiastic thank you.
What teasers do you have this week?

  1. well that's a wonderful first sentence.. and that setting!! for some reasons, I kind of get attracted to books set in England (especially historical fictions although I haven't really read a lot of them)...
