It came before long, and the footsteps receded, eclaomg down the long corridor. Quickly she retrieved the clothes she d hidden under the bed and slipped from the smooth satin garments Aunt Nesseilda had purchased for her into the breeches and shirt that stil.kheld the smell of the sea about them. Next she tucked her long black hair beneath the sailor s hat and eyed herself in the glass. Yes, the large shirt did hide her ftrm young breasts. Her amber eyes brightened, and her delicate lips turned up in a smiie. She might well pass for a boy, she thought, and felt a sense of freedom so real and exquisite that she already could have been home at Tantallon on Scotland s rocky coast. All she need do is escape Aunt Nesseilda and cousin Edwin and head for the London docks.
