Chapter 12 I Wasn't Always The Duke Of Wynchford

• An intermission had been given. Julia wanted to find Wychford. The duke was in attendance; she knew that because her mother made a point of listing all the lords she had seen through her quizzing glass. Victoria was detained by a young lord while Ophelia was engaged in doing her favorite work of the day.
• Moving through stairs and doors, she made her way towards the coffee room where Ophelia last sighted Wychford. Even before she reached the coffee room, Julia spotted Wychford and pretended she didn't already know he was in attendance.
• "Your Grace, what a great surprise to find you here," Julia rasped out. "I didn't picture you as the type who likes literature, let alone a work by Shakespeare."
