That would defeat the purpose of being nice to the eligible young men who came calling, however. Olivia sat in one corner of the room, doing her best to keep the most gossipy of the women away from her ⦠a service for which Emma was inexpressibly grateful.

She supposed she could credit the interest in her uncleâs rather bizarre behavior. But for all his elusive and reclusive ways, the size and scope of his assets had always been sufficient to ensure that Mr. Albert Mercer was well respected in society and would, no doubt, have been well received if he could be bothered to venture to Town. No one knew, of course, that Emmaâs father and uncle hadnât spoken since her grandfather passed away.
