Then it crossed her mind that he had complete power over her, that he was in fact free to disgrace her completely if he revealed her outburst to the assembled guests.
“I would be grateful to you, sir, if you would be good enough to keep this episode to yourself,” she said, her gaze lowered to the ground, abject in her fear.
He came forward and with a touch of a gloved finger, raised her chin so that she looked up into his eyes. There was sympathy in them.
“You may consider this episode forgotten,” he said. “But if at any time you wished to speak about it, I would be honoured if you would confide in me.”
She did not want pity. Nor would she let him take advantage of her weakness. She stepped back out of his reach, stood up straight, and answered, her voice quite distant.
“That would be highly unlikely, sir. We have not even been introduced.”
With that she swirled round and, her footsteps deliberate, she walked to the door, opened it, and closed it firmly between them.
