Mr Jessop, she noticed, had studiously averted his eyes. So much for her hope to keep anything with Sir Christopher private—the gossip would be all over the fair within minutes. ‘If you are sure you don’t need us for anything else, I will get him back to my house. I believe he has hit his head.’
‘I’ll help you, ma’am, in case he falls like,’ a thin farmer said. ‘Way aye, I saw the whole thing and one of them brought a walking stick down on his head. ‘Tweren’t right, that. The man’s a hero. It weren’t many men who’d do something like that.’
‘We will haul this lot up in front of the magistrates come Monday morning,’ Mr Jessop declared.
‘I will be happy to give evidence,’ the farmer said. ‘And me lad as well.’
Hattie felt the tears well up. She hadn’t expected any assistance and now it seemed people were queuing up to support her.
‘Let me know if his condition worsens,’ Mr Jessop called out as she started the slow march towards her governess cart with Kit’s heavy weight leaning on her shoulder.
‘Obviously.’
Was what she was doing the right thing? Hattie gave a small shudder when she thought about Stephanie, but that couldn’t be helped. She’d given Kit her word and she intended on keeping it. They were friends.
Please let him be all right. That was all that mattered.
