Happy November! Lady Katherine's Conundrum will be released November 13, so mark your calendars.
Set up: As you will recall from Lady Katherine's Comeuppance, Lady Katherine was devastated by the fact that her friend, Lady Lorena Arnold, abandoned her when she needed her most. In this snippet, Thomas and Katherine discuss the matter again.
“She shall
not be forgiven, her disloyalty showed her true character and I, for one, do
not wish to be associated with women of that ilk.”
“Ilk?”
She huffed.
“Honestly, do not Americans speak English? It means type, people like her. I do
not want anyone to believe that I am her friend because she was no friend to
me.” Katherine harrumphed, crossed her arms and stared out the window of the
carriage, anger warring with the sadness and hurt she still bore, but would
never acknowledge, over the betrayal by her friend.
“I think you miss
your friend,” Thomas said.
Katherine turned
on him. “Well, you are sorely mistaken, my lord, because I do not miss her any
more than I miss having a cold or stubbing my toe.”
“Odd that you did
not include spankings in that list.”
Yay! Hurry up November 13th. Lady Katherine really dies have a strop on doesn't she? I wonder if Thomas helps her get over it... Sounds like he's about to..
ReplyDeleteThomas is very helpful. He was probably a Regency Boy Scout.
DeleteYou made me smile on this chilly morning with the explanation of 'ilk.' That was fun. However, I have to say that I can't wait till haughty Katherine gets a good spanking. ;-)
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteIt was a fun scene to write so I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I wonder if he believes her any more than we do. Not that he need more reason to take her over his knee, but she's lying.
ReplyDeleteYou dare to call Lady Katherine Winchester a liar? LOL
DeleteOh yes she is ready for a spanking! I wonder if the friendship will begin again? Hmmmm....Good snippet.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to wait and see, Minelle!
DeleteWhat...no dirty talk this week? LOL kidding. Loved this snippet and I can't wait for the release!
ReplyDeleteHeehee. I know how you like the dirty talk. :)
DeleteThis book is definitely on my wish list. November 13th can't come soon enough.
ReplyDeleteOh, aren't you sweet! Thanks!
DeleteI love the snippets that are the lead-up into the spanking, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThanks. In this book, just about everything is a lead up to a spanking. :)
DeleteI love his line at the end. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Not much gets past Thomas.
Deletehee hee. that was like a punchline having spankings included at the end. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Glad you liked it. :)
DeleteYes, it is interesting that she didn't include it! I was afraid there would be no mention of what she has coming. Thanks for the snippet!
ReplyDelete:D Love that last line! Great snippet, Celeste!
ReplyDeleteYes, how odd! LOL. I love their dynamic, that they have a connection that allows her to share her feelings (even if she denies them).
ReplyDeletehehe no spankings on the not-miss list :D I love her huffing "Don't Americans speak English?"
