“Oh, but that’s absurd!” Gladys exclaimed. “Totally, entirely absurd!”
“Oh, I’m sure,” the Duchess replied. “However, it might be a good idea if I returned Lord Northcote’s jewels to him. He really is quite concerned.”
Gladys flushed. She had not intended to return the necklace, but now it seemed that she had no choice. And no choice but to get on the train, either. As she went to get the necklace, she cast a hard look at Lady Sheridan. She was the one who had turned the Duchess against her, and the Duke, too. It was all her fault.
“Here you are,” Gladys said, putting the necklace into the Duchess’s hands. She gave her a hard look. “This will change things, you know, Consuelo. Between us, I mean. You and me. It will be open warfare now. And in the end, I will get him.”
“Of course you will,” the Duchess said gently. She smiled, and there was a genuine compassion in her voice. “I am very sorry for you, Gladys. He will not make you happy.”
“P’rhaps not,” Gladys said, stung. “But there is always Blenheim.”
“Indeed,” said the Duchess. “There is always Blenheim.”
