My Dimples Show
Mary had a long day in Kidderpore visiting a school and two zenanas. She might have preferred to spend the evening on her own veranda, but there's a dinner party at Mr. Steele's home. Mary can't beg off, and she doesn't really want to. The dinner will be good. The conversation could be pleasant. And Mr. Steele is an important person in the Scottish community. A bachelor, he's fond of Mary, and she needs his support for her orphanage and school. Mary arrives, pastes on a smile, and engages in small talk. The evening seems off to a good start.
Book Excerpt
Two Coins: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Miss Pigot,” Mr. Steele calls, “we’re just in the drawing room. We were beginning to worry about you.”
I walk through the double doors. Mr. Steele is standing in evening clothes with a peg in his hand. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hastie also have on evening attire. I smooth my skirt and hold out my hand to Mr. Steele.
“I hope I’m not too late. I’ve been at Kidderpore all day. I’m so sorry.” I smile so my dimples show.
“The party couldn’t begin before your arrival,” Mr. Steele says, his eyes twinkling. Thank goodness he’s forgiven me for our disagreement over Mr. Robson.
