Love Can Wait. Betty Neels

СКАЧАТЬ once more with Prince in the Bentley, Kate thought it unlikely. As it was she was feeling edgy about returning so late in the evening. Even at the speed at which Mr Tait-Bouverie was driving, it would be almost midnight before she got to Lady Cowder’s house.

      Mr Tait-Bouverie, glancing at his watch, had a very good idea as to what she was thinking. He said over his shoulder, ‘Shall I drop you off before I take your mother home? Or do you wish to go there first?’

      ‘Oh, please, it’s a bit late—if you wouldn’t mind…’

      The house was in darkness when they reached it, but that wasn’t to say that Lady Cowder wasn’t sitting up in bed waiting for her with an eye on the clock.

      It was foolish to feel so apprehensive. She worked long hours, and Lady Cowder put upon her quite shamelessly in a wistful fashion which didn’t deceive Kate—but she couldn’t risk losing her job. She didn’t need to save much more before she would be able to see the bank manager…

      Mr Tait-Bouverie drew up soundlessly and got out of the car.

      ‘You have a key?’

      ‘Yes. The kitchen door—it’s round the side of the house…’

      Kate bade her mother a quiet goodnight, rubbed the top of Prince’s head and got out of the car.

      ‘Give me the key,’ said Mr Tait-Bouverie, and walked silently beside her to the door, unlocked it and handed the key back to her.

      ‘Thank you for taking us to the Shaws’,’ whispered Kate. ‘We had a lovely day…’

      ‘Like old times?’ He bent suddenly and kissed her cheek. ‘Sleep well, Kate.’

      She went past him, closed the door soundlessly and took off her shoes. Creeping like a mouse through the house, she wondered why on earth he had kissed her. It had been a careless kiss, no doubt, but it hadn’t been necessary…
