Excerpt from The New Magdalen, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel
While Mercy was almost in Julian"s arms, while her bosom was just touching his - before a word more had passed his lips or hers - the library door opened.
Lady Janet Roy entered the room.
Grace Roseberry, still listening in the conservatory, saw the door open, and recognised the mistress of the house. She softly drew back and placed herself in safer hiding, beyond the range of view from the dining-room.
