establishment, which had a well-dressed mannequin in the window.
I was so focused on impressing you scarcely noticed the man coming out of men's
tailoring that was next.
- Lady Flora! How wonderful to see you!
Christy turned, surprised to find Lord Blakely good step towards addressing it. He felt
the blood was withdrawn from his face. Would have given anything for that to turn
around and run, but it was too late. The Viscount was already at her side and smiled
with genuine sympathy.
"I thought to see you last week or so, but I could not capture your attention. How long
are you in London?
"Since a few weeks ago ..." said Christy stuttering.
- Is your husband with you on this occasion?
Christy took a moment to remember the old husband who had invented.
"No, he died ..." said hesitantly.
"Sorry, my lady. As you do not go dressed in black, I assumed ...
"You do not have anything to apologize, my lord. My husband made me promise
before he died that would keep him too mourn her death. Had been ill for a long time
and died shortly after I returned from London. So I left here so suddenly. They called
me to be at his side in recent times.
- Do you know that you have returned Sinjun?
"I ... no. And it's better that way. What had between Sinjun and I finished when I
returned to ... Cornwall.
"Then I'm lucky," said Rudy enthusiastically. "I can visit you? Or even a short time has
passed since the death of your husband?

"It's too soon, Christy apologized. Sorry.
Rudy The attractive face reflected his disappointment.
"He hoped to agree to attend the masquerade ball that my grandmother, the Dowager
Duchess of Langston, held on Saturday.
- Why me? I'm sure there will be dozens of women eager to enjoy your company.
Rudy smiled carefree.
"Some are, but I prefer you. Do you reconsideraréis, Lady Flora? Everyone who is
anyone will be there.
- Included Sinjun?
"If you get to be sober enough to attend. But do not let that bother you, if that's what
you want.
Christy turned it over to the idea. The chance to see without being able to recognize
Sinjun tempting. He could wear a wig to disguise the color of hair and a mask that
covers her entire face except the lips. It would be much chance that they came across in
front of him, taking into account the number of people who would come to this social
event. And if that happened, would face that obstacle when crossing.
"I hope that your silence means that you are reconsidering," said Rudy hopeful.
Christy told herself she would have to be crazy to contemplate the possibility of
presenting in a place where Sinjun may appear. But after all the things that Emma had
told him had to see it to judge for himself whether his sister had exaggerated about
your mood.
"The truth is that I've reconsidered," said Christy, after a long pause. I accept the
invitation to attend the ball of your grandmother.
- Splendid! Rudy exclaimed excitedly. Give me your address and I will seek for the
Sabbath.
No, that could not be thought Christy. All he would address if Rudy agreed to certain
conditions.
"Before I give you my address, you must promise me that you will give it to anyone,
including Sinjun. That will be the only way to go with you will access. And I want my
identity to remain hidden.
Rudy frowned.
"What a strange request. And how can I introduce?
"As ye will, if nobody knows I'm Flora Randall.
"Neither Christy MacDonald," he thought to himself, though he said nothing.
"If that's the only way for you to accept my invitation, then I agree.
"I mean, sir," insisted Christy. You must not say to Lord Derby where I live. Give me
your word of honor.
"The ye, Lady Flora, Rudy promised. I do not know what happened between Sinjun
and you do not want to know, but your secret is safe with me.
"Thank you, sir. You can come and get me on Saturday, "Christy gave him her address,
and Rudy was surprised to see that lived in an area of the city not exactly elegant. But
it was too gentlemanly to make a statement to this effect.
They separated a few minutes later, and Christy continued down the street. What had I

instinct had launched an alarm, but Christy had refused to pay attention.
Emma's description on the current mood of Sinjun had caused so much guilt that I
should see with their own eyes what had caused his deception. How she would have
