Chapter 418

• Piers
• The weather forecast had predicted a mild snowfall and the snowflakes were falling outside in the garden as Piers entered the warm study where his sat mother working. It was evening and the aroma of food wafted in through the open door. Mumma had just come in after getting dinner started, he perceived fondly.
• She looked so beautiful, he thought with a smile, the dark head bent over her work and then, as she sensed his presence, she raised her head and smiled at him, a smile that revealed how much she loved him.
