"You'll be popular now," said Ulyth. "Are you to spend the holidays at Plas Cafn?"
"Yes. Miss Bowes says I must, though I'd far rather have accepted your invitation. Lady Glyncraig was very kind and sweet; she kissed me and said she hoped so much that we should be friends. They have promised to ask Dad to come over for next Christmas and have a big family reunion."

So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself.
