Book Excerpts
The Dashing Debutante Chapter 1
The door of the carriage jerked open and a cloaked figure on horseback leaned forward into the coach and pointed a pistol at the man lounging inside. “Stand and deliver!” he called in a low voice.
The inmate of the carriage, a dark, elegantly attired gentleman, raised his quizzing glass and, in an unhurried fashion, proceeded to inspect the highwayman through it. Eventually, he lowered the glass and said softly, “I think not.”
“Stand and deliver!” the highwayman said again, his blue eyes narrowing behind the slits of his mask. “Your money or your life!”
Leaning back into his seat, the dark gentleman closed his eyes. After a while he said in a bored voice, “My guarded entourage follows me - about a mile behind. They will come upon us at any moment. I suggest you depart forthwith and play your childish games on someone else.”
