Mrs. Jeffries nodded solemnly. “Lady Cannonberry thought highly of her as well. She came by this afternoon and said she’d love to see you this evening if you weren’t too tired. She wondered if you could have dinner together. I told her I’d pass along the message.”
Witherspoon shot to his feet. “I’m not the least bit tired. I’ll pop over now. Honestly, Mrs. Jeffries, when you see how fragile life can be, it makes one very grateful for what one has.”
“Indeed it does, sir.”
