Even with many officers absent it was still a goodly company sat around the dinner table, along with the Marquess of Salisbury and his family.The dinn...r had finished, the ladies had withdrawn, cigars had been lit and the port decanter was making its second circuit round the table when a mud spattered rider was ushered into the room, with dispatches for Major Graffoe, as Sir Edmund was also on furlough. Major Graffoe read the message and then let out a great cry.“God’s Teeth! Napoleon has. He watched her gazing outside, wondering why she was here, when she suddenly dropped her head and held a fist to her mouth, gasping."Liz... ?" he walked over to her, looking down at her with concern."Liz, what's wrong?" he asked, as tears spilled down her cheeks."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come, not when you're ... when you have enough on your plate right now..." She stammered, turning to leave.He reached out and held her arm, preventing her from leaving, and instead led her to the couch and. She was not tall, smaller than Nina by a good four or five inches, although she wondered right then if the young lady had heels or not. Millie saw Nina staring and not listening to what she was saying and ordered sternly, “Stop gawking at Kirsty would you, and pay attention, girl.” Nina jumped out of her daydream and looked at her boss. “Sorry, Miss Millie,” she said, wide-eyed and concerned she had upset her boss, and was also blushing as Kirsty giggled at the way Nina addressed her boss.. We kissed, then lay there letting the bliss of the moment wash over us.“God, I feel good,” Mike whispered.“Me, too.”We kissed some more, then pulled the covers over our naked bodies and cuddled until close to dinner time. Finally, knowing my parents would be home soon, I reluctantly ended our tryst by slipping out of bed and starting to get dressed.I practically jumped on Monday afternoon when the lower hall of our school filled with shouts and screams. They sounded like they were coming from.
