CLARISSA, PENELOPE AND ELOISE'S MORNING stroll had taken a turn into the market along the street outside Grosvenor Square.

“Then why are we looking?” Penelope asked with an amused chuckle.
“Because I would rather do anything than stay a moment longer in that house while everyone flutters around Daphne, cooing over her prospects,” Eloise complained, walking away from the stall, forcing Penelope and Clarissa away from the jewellery they had been regarding.
