Dedication
1: Lady Juliana Chase's sisters often accused her of looking for trouble.
2: "How many baby clothes do you need to make?"
3: James Trevor, the young Earl of Stafford, hadn't been to a ball in years.
4: "This pink is pretty," Emily said Monday at Grafton House...
5: "Where is Amanda?" Juliana said Wednesday afternoon in the drawing room.
6: "I really must be on my way, Aunt Aurelia."
7: Over the next two days, Juliana helped Amanda order an entire new wardrobe.
8: The trifle was chilled in its silver bowl by the time...
9: "There he is," Amanda said grimly as they stepped into Lady Hammersmithe's ballroom.
10: Wary of Juliana's grin, Griffin watched her heading his way with their cousin in tow.
11: Everyone who was anyone was at Lady Hammersmithe's ball.
12: While Amanda was off dancing with her fourth or fifth potential suitor...
13: "I say, Cainewood. You're looking a bit foxed."
14: Despite having persuaded her cousins to attend her party, Juliana...
15: "What do you think of this dress, dear?" Sitting across from James...
16: "This doesn't look like a nice neighborhood," Aunt Frances said...
17: Wondering what Juliana wanted of him, James led...
18: Before the duke left on Monday afternoon, he'd asked...
19: "You-you-you're afraid of Herman!"
20: Juliana placed little mounds of dough on...
21: As James's carriage crawled toward the Egyptian Hall...
22: The exterior of the museum at Number Twenty-two Piccadilly...
23: "I cannot see," Frances complained.
24: It seemed lately people talked of nothing but the unusually cold weather...
25: "So," Juliana said to James as they waltzed, "have you decided...
26: "Isn't this a stunning carriage?" Juliana asked as she and Amanda...
27: After dinner, when the ladies would usually have left the gentlemen...
28: "I cannot believe you didn't tell me you'd talked to Lord Stafford," Amanda said...
29: James handed the hopeful young woman a pencil...
30: The Billingsgate ball was in full swing, and music...
31: "You're foxed," Juliana told James later as they danced.
32: The next morning dawned unusually bright and sunny, which should have made Juliana...
33: Dark was falling.
34: "Goodness gracious," Lady Frances said, giggling...
35: "It's the rheumatism, I fear," Lady Avonleigh said the next afternoon.
36: "Where's my aunt?" Juliana cried. "And Lord Malmsey?"
37: James's aunts had proved to be even better seamstresses than Rachael and her sisters.
38: As James was leaving that evening, his mother walked into Stafford House.
39: Juliana was scandalized.
40: Lord Malmsey was the youngest man in attendance at the Pevenseys' musical evening.
41: For five days—ever since she'd come to his house and offered to volunteer...
42: On Saturday evening, Griffin watched Juliana scan the Teddingtons' ballroom.
43: Aunts Aurelia and Bedelia had been thrilled when James asked them...
44: After James left, Juliana returned to the ballroom, furious...
45: In his study at Stafford House the next day, James...
46: As Lady Hartley's guests followed the Wolverstons from the room...
47: The next day, Juliana paced around the drawing room...
48: Even with a flurry of activity, Juliana's afternoon...
49: Juliana and Castleon were both sure Lord Wolverston wasn't stupid...
50: "Why are you so sad, Lady Juliana?"
51: There were different ways of dealing with the blows life randomly chucked...
52: For two days, Juliana had done little but sew baby clothes...
53: James's eyes met Juliana's, and they both sucked in their breaths.
54: At the top of the elegant staircase, James didn't walk Juliana...
55: And so it was that James arrived at Lady Amanda's house...
56: In the end, Amanda was the one who objected.
57: "Thank you very much," one of the Foundling Hospital's Governers said...
58: In recent weeks, when Juliana had dreamed of walking down the aisle...
59: Five hours later, James found himself...
