The announcement of Lord and Lady Haxleys arrival was like the sound of a great wave breaking on the shore, before instantly receding in a gentle hum of disbelief.

Mary, the housekeeper, continued a little perplexed, ‘Accompanied by —’

With horror Richard Myers frantically began to search for Catherine. He was in no doubt who had accompanied them. His father would attend to the Haxleys, but he would have to move fast if he were to prevent Catherine, from seeing the scoundrel.

‘Hear — hear!’ Thomas shouted. ‘Hear — hear!’

His sudden authoritative burst stole the announcement of Paul Watkins, who had accompanied the Haxleys.

‘Good heavens!’ He exclaimed, ‘You look as horrified as I was, when I first heard of Richards promotion.’

Thomas continued to welcome the guests and congratulate Richard Myers, on becoming a partner in the family’s long-established law firm.
