sister.
Claire looked at the Marquise, who shrugged.
- That's true, but we try not to comment beyond the fact of our family. For some reason, the idea of sharing a family secret, made Claire feel privileged. Despite the arrogance and authoritarian ways, the Barrington formed a very charismatic, and Claire felt honored by the trust.
Claire managed to endure even more tired an hour with good humor. Relieved, he saw the countess to save the golden monocle in the bag and announce that the purchases had been completed.
The sun was shining when we finally left the shop lady Renude. Claire could not avoid a twinge of pride when walking on Bond Street with a lot of gowns purchased at the studio of Renude lady. But his thoughts were soon dispersed upon seeing the picture of Lord Fairhurst not far away. She recognized him immediately. He was on foot, walking toward them with firm steps.
- Senhoras. "He touched the brim of his hat. - Are you done with your shopping?
The countess laughed.
- Shopping is something that women never end, Jasper. They just give a break to regain his strength.
- I'm not a little tired. - Meredith smiled.
- But my daughters expect me home.
- I will follow his sister - the Countess said Jasper.
- Why do not you take a ride with Claire? The fresh air will do you good, after so many hours in a store.
A grim expression covered his face with Lord Fairhurst.
- I think the less they see me around town in the company of Claire, the better.
- What's more, my son? My set up the monitor. Naturally, we must be discreet in regard to the position of Claire, but there is no need to hide it.
- I do not agree.
- I'm sorry, Jasper, but Mom was right - Meredith intervened. - If we act like we have something to hide, give grounds for nasty comments.
- And we all know that there is no way to keep a secret in London - Countess completed.
- I insist that the more prudent will maintain confidentiality about the existence of Claire.
The countess sighed loud and exaggerated.
- Do not be ridiculous, Jasper. We spent almost four hours in the shop lady Renude. Before the end of the day, the high whole society will have information about the mysterious lady who completely revamped her wardrobe and sent the bill to pay you. Lord Fairhurst paled. Claire cleared his throat. Everyone looked quickly, but nobody said anything. After the moment of shock, Jasper asked:
- Lady Renude knows who is Claire?
- I am not stupid and neither is Renude lady - "said the countess. - She was burning with curiosity, but never dare to insult me with indiscreet questions. I assure you we do not let anything slip. And guess what? We can not be sitting here, discussing family matters. Also, your sister needs to go.
- My car is two blocks from here - said the Lord.
- We're closer. It would really be asking too much to contemplate with Claire a few moments of fresh air? At least as far as is his coach?
The countess did not wait for the child's protests. Holding the arm of Meredith, walked to the carriage and, in the blink of an eye, mother and daughter entered the vehicle without looking back.
With the corners of her eyes, Claire saw the Lord Fairhurst clench your fists. He was furious. But his face was impassive as he turned and offered her his arm. If not accepted, certainly, Claire would be left there even with only one created as a guide. Containing a sigh of resignation, put his fingertips on his arm and let himself be led by Bond Street.
Chapter V
The countess glanced out the window of the carriage and clapped with joy.
- Will it work! - Muttered.
Still smiling, reached out and hit the ceiling of the carriage.
- What are you doing, Mommy? - Asked Meredith.
- I'm calling John. We have to go to the office of Mr.. Beckham.
- The office of attorney?
- Yes, I need to know the news about the validity of the marriage of Claire and Jasper.
- Mama, Mr. Beckham was at home last night. I doubt that anything has changed in less than
