Marriage of Mercy (2012)
“When they reached the dower house, he walked slowly upstairs, his head down.
In the kitchen, Emery shook his head over the news. ‘Maybe the United States are going to be a short-lived experiment.’ ‘Best not say anything so dismal to our parolee,’ she advised.
‘Maybe he needs to face facts.’ Gloom down here and gloom upstairs, Grace thought, feeling discouragement settle around her. ‘I feel sorry for him,’ she said, her words pointed.
‘So do I, lass, but sometimes…’ He shook his head... again.
I should just leave Rob alone, she told herself, settling down in the kitchen with a basket of mending. Maybe he’d rather not see a British face just now.
