Barbara Cartland - A Kiss In Rome

Now she looked for the case and then took out two rows of pearls that she put round Alina’s neck.

There was a diamond ring for her third finger and a Wedding ring.

As if this was not enough, Denise then added an emerald and pearl bracelet and a brooch in the shape of a butterfly.

“Will it be safe to wear them ‒ when we are travelling?” Alina asked nervously.

“We have plenty of people looking after us,” Denise replied, “including, of course, the intimidating Marquis of Teverton!”

In the excitement of preparing for the journey Alina had almost forgotten about him.

Now she asked,

“Will he be coming with us?”

“I am afraid so,” Denise answered, “but he will make quite certain he travels in another carriage on the train to Dover and keeps to his own cabin in the ferry.”

Alina looked surprised.

“Don’t forget,” Denise explained, “he does not want us and, although we have to stay in the house where he is staying, I am certain that we will only see him passing us on the stairs.”

“I told you that Papa tricked him into taking me to Rome and he fell without realising it into the trap that Papa set for him.”

“What trap?” Alina asked.
