“Pig!”
My name wasn’t actually Pig.
To my father, I’d been Pip.
To my mother, I’d been Pippin.
To the town, I’d been Lady Pippa Wentworth.
And now?
“Oi, Pig!”
That was the only warning I got before the mud hit the side of my face. I
blinked, freezing on the spot as the viscous, stinking clod splattered across
my face, the main weight of it dropping to the ground between my feet. My
eyes were still wide when I turned around, always a mistake. If I didn’t
respond, didn’t acknowledge Arabella, these things often went better for me.
Instead, I was treated to the sight of Mister George Kensington, my former
childhood friend, handing his handkerchief over to my stepsister with a
smirk, watching her clean her elegant fingers of any evidence of wrongdoing.
Not that anyone would ever call her to account for them.
Something both she and I seemed to acknowledge as we both glanced up
and down the street. People either stopped and laughed, some extra malice in
their smiles at the sight of me in such distress, or they scurried by, not
wanting to draw the ire of the Lady Arabella down on themselves next. But
no one dared say a thing as she marched over, stepping neatly around the
puddles of mud left by the recent rains.
“What’re you doing walking the streets, Pig?”
This was a rhetorical question. It always was with Arabella. She’d never
expressed an interest in anything I had to say since the moment she and her
mother were brought to my family home, settling there when my father
married her mother. Back then she’d forced herself to keep her smiles sweet
and her comments suitably complimentary, but those days were long since
gone. There was something of the sly look of Cook’s cat in her face right
now, her vicious smile contrasting obscenely with her porcelain skin and
perfectly curled, butter yellow hair. The only consolation was that she was
forced to tilt her head up to meet my eyes as I towered over her.
