The crisp autumn air filled Anna’s lungs as she inhaled deeply, her lungs
lapping up its freshness. A walk first thing in the morning was the perfect
way to start her day, but she wasn’t enjoying it as much as usual. Her brother
had unexpectedly come to stay, which meant her aunt would find more fault
with her than usual.
It was challenging enough to handle Aunt Margaret’s cold attitude on a
regular day under her care, but Harrison certainly worsened their aunt’s mood
by his mere presence. He had a terrible habit of arriving at the manor house
unannounced and putting the household into a frenzy, trying to ready his
room while he demanded everyone to be at his beck and call.
If only you had given me my own house just like Grandfather gave one to
Aunt Margaret, Papa. I suppose you expected Harrison to take care of me
until my marriage, but he sent me away before you were even cold in your
grave. Aunt Margaret seems resentful of my presence.
A yapping dog in the distance made her groan with frustration. Tibby had
gotten loose again, which would only add to Aunt Margaret’s ire. The little
dog wasn’t allowed to roam around outside unless her aunt had given
permission, and judging by the time of day, her aunt had not authorised the
walk.
Sighing, Anna turned back to the house to find the cheeky little Pomeranian
before her aunt realised her dog wasn’t safely napping in the parlour. Aunt
Margaret was likely taking tea in bed since breakfast would be later this
morning. They usually had their first meal by nine, but those were not
fashionable hours for Harrison.
He refused to eat before ten and expected everyone to follow his daily routine
no matter how inconvenient it was for the rest of the household. Anna
supposed that being an earl gave a person many expectations that couldn’t be
denied, but it wasn’t fair for those who had to serve him.
