Questions of the sly fox- Part 2

Heidi turned away from his gaze to look outside the window at the sky, the dark clouds that had settled in the sky just like when they had left the mansion. She wondered if the Duke had freed Howard from him prison. She hoped he did as he promised. There was no way she could confirm it without going there herself but where could she find him? She wasn't sure if the old man had gone back to working at the Curtis after what they put him through. Maybe she could send a letter through Lettice which would be less suspicious.

When she looked back at him, she found him looking outside the window with a tranquil expression. He must have felt her looking at him as instantly his eyes met hers. They stared at each other in silence.
