Fannie was combing Theodora's long nut-brown hair with a wooden comb after she had washed them this morning.
Theodora seemed lost in her thoughts, and Fannie did not dare to disturb her.
But a knock on the door caught their attention. Fannie bowed in respect when she saw Augustus entering the chamber.
"Augustus?" Theodora looked at him through the mirror in front of her...
The look of distress on his face told her that he was in a bad mood. No wonder he decided to visit his beloved wife at such an odd hour when he was usually locked up in his office.
"Fannie, you may leave now." Theodora said.
"Yes, My Lady!" Fannie bowed again before leaving the chamber.
She had noticed how Lord Augustus had begun spending more time with Theodora. It made him happy. But what about Theodora?
