Would dear Angelette extend the viscount an invitation to her house party? Angelette had done so, and now the man himself had deigned to make an appearance. But Thérèse had written to say the marquis's business in England had taken longer than expected. Thérèse hoped the viscount would consider importing the de Beauvais family wines to England. When he'd said he was traveling to France on business, Thérèse had invited him to stay with her and her husband, the Marquis de Beauvais, at their chateau and vineyard.
Thérèse was in London and had met and befriended the viscount, who was apparently an avid importer of French wines. She'd only done so because her sister had written to her and begged a favor. Not only was the man a full two days late to the house party, he had the gall to arrive at the ungodly hour of half past seven. With a pained expression, she'd dabbed at her mouth. She'd risen early so she might have some solitude before her guests joined her, which meant she was not pleased when her butler announced the arrival of a Viscount Daventry.
