‘I’m sorry, Lady Celia, but Mr Drummond is here, wants to have a look at you. I wonder if your visitors could wait outside for a moment or two?’

‘Beckenham—’ said Lady Beckenham. But he had already disappeared.
Celia lay back, grateful for a little peace and quiet. She smiled down at Kit; he looked back at her, unseeingly. He did look exactly like his father. That, at least, was perfectly true.
