Honoria couldn’t help but watch her make her way over to
Daisy, and Mr. Bridgerton said, “Don’t worry, she’s mostly
harmless.”
“My cousin Daisy?” she asked dubiously.
“No,” he replied, momentarily nonplussed. “Lady Danbury.”
Honoria looked past him to Daisy and Lady Danbury. “Is she
deaf?”
“Your cousin Daisy?”
“No, Lady Danbury.”
“I don’t believe so.”
“Oh.” Honoria winced. “That’s too bad. She might be by the
time Daisy is through with her.
“That’s not going to end well,” he murmured.
Honoria could do nothing but shake her head and murmur,
“No.”
“Is your cousin fond of her toes?”
Honoria blinked in confusion. “I believe so, yes.”
“She’ll want to watch that cane, then.”
Honoria looked back just in time to see Daisy let out a small
shriek as she tried to jump back. She was not successful with the
latter; Lady Danbury’s cane had her pinned rather firmly.
