СКАЧАТЬ would anyone follow me?”

      “Because you’re digging in a mine field. You don’t understand, Beryl. When your parents were killed, there was more involved than just another sex scandal.”

      “Wait a minute.” She crossed toward him, her gaze hard on his face. “What do you know about it?”

      “I knew you were coming to Paris.”

      “Who told you?”

      “Claude Daumier. He called me in London. Said that Hugh was worried. That someone had to keep an eye on you and Jordan.”

      “So you’re our nanny?”

      He laughed. “In a manner of speaking.”

      “And how much do you know about my mother and father?”

      She knew by his brief silence that he was debating his answer, weighing the consequences of his next words. She fully expected to hear a lie.

      Instead he surprised her with the truth. “I knew them both,” he said. “I was here in Paris when it happened.”

      The revelation left her stunned. She didn’t doubt for an instant that it was the truth—why would he fabricate such a story?

      “It was my very first posting,” he said. “I thought it was incredible luck to draw Paris. Most first-timers get sent to some bug-infested jungle in the middle of nowhere. But I drew Paris. And that’s where I met Madeline and Bernard.” Wearily he sank into a chair. “It’s amazing,” he murmured, studying Beryl’s face, “How very much you look like her. The same green eyes, the same black hair. She used to sweep hers back in this sort of loose chignon. But strands of it were always coming loose, falling about her neck…” He smiled fondly at the memory. “Bernard was crazy about her. So was every man who ever met her.”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
