“Though Captain Gaston is her step-nephew, the lady has a much nicer demeanor.”
Captain Gaston was employed by the Wilcox Shipping Line, and Kate recalled that his French mother had married Mrs. Hollingsworth’s late brother.
“Listen here, dear brother. The captain may be a bit high-handed at times, but I like him. At least he’s sane. His aunt, on the other hand, may have a gentler side, but she’s crazy!”
“Well, then, what’s the problem?”
“The captain’s sane. She’s crazy! That’s the problem!”
Matthew could hardly contain his laughter. “I admit, she is rather different.”
“Different?” Kate snapped.
Matthew laughed. “Ah, Kate, you can be a shrew. Even you must see how hilarious this is. Imagine Mrs. Hollingsworth and you confined in a carriage for almost an entire day.”
Kate groaned. She was trapped. Mrs. Hollingsworth was the least of her worries. Matthew didn’t know it, but she had good reason not to venture into the heart of England again.
That Tristan boy must have hated her for what she’d done to him ten years ago.
Why, she had almost killed him!
