Abigail was exhausted by the time her coach rumbled onto the square where the Earl of Worthington’s London home was located. It had taken many days to arrive since Sir Boardman had instructed her driver to keep to a slow pace due to her delicate condition. While she appreciated their consideration, she had also resented any and all men who tried to instruct her on how to behave or what to do. She was just beginning to appreciate her new-found freedom while running from the only home she had known since she was eighteen, and she had to be careful that she didn’t go wild.
She rubbed her stomach, hoping the trip hadn’t been too much for the babe she carried there. She glanced across the coach at the woman sitting there, pleased that Sir Boardman had managed to hire her to care for Agatha. The child was even now lying against her mother’s leg, sound asleep after being lulled into a nap by the constant motion of the coach. Traveling with a two-year-old hadn’t been easy either. At the start, Agatha had been fascinated by the new sights at the inn where they had stayed and the toys Abigail had brought with them, but eventually, she began to miss the structure of her previously carefully timed world and the people she was familiar with. She was used to the presence of her day nurse and night nurse, and her mother had allowed neither of them to come on this journey. These people, who had been hired by the housekeeper, were determined to raise the child as their own and not be influenced by her mother. At first, it looked as though the day nurse wouldn’t even release the child to her mother’s care, but Sir Boardman had intervened when Abigail’s instinct would have been to snatch her child away.
