‘It was not at all romantic, I do assure you.’
‘My sister reads improper romantic novels when Mama is not looking,’ Matthew explained.
‘Do be quiet, Matthew! To be carried off by a romantic hero into the night—it is far more exciting than anything I have read recently. Although I have to say that I cannot see Hugh in the role of hero, but that is probably because he is my brother. He is very handsome, I suppose. And he rides a horse well. But I think I prefer fairer heroes with golden locks and blue eyes.’
Frances laughed at this ingenuous view of her rescuer and found it easy to respond in kind. ‘Then I must try to live up to your expectations of a romantic heroine. Perhaps I should have a cup of coffee before I faint!’
When Frances was seated with coffee and bread and butter, Matthew explained the plan of action for her first morning in London.
‘I have been given instructions from Aldeborough. He sends his apologies and says that he has a business appointment this morning from which he cannot renege, but he will be honoured to drive you round Hyde Park this afternoon at two o’clock. This morning I am to escort you on a shopping expedition.’ Frances hid a smile as she recognised the grace with which Matthew had accepted his instructions. She was sure that he would prefer to spend his time elsewhere, but he accepted the delegation with good humour.
