Chapter 76

Bryn broke the absolute silence with a mirthless laugh. “He…wh-what?”

“I saw him. I saw him last night. You talked to him, didn’t you? You invited him. You invited your father’s fucking servant-class lover to his funeral, didn’t you? Didn’t you!” Elizabeth careened through the room, tripping, falling, and getting up. She pushed people away from her, and when they wouldn’t stop trying to help, she grabbed a box and hurled it at a window. The panes shattered, and the wooden slats bent with the impact. Uncle Arnold wrestled Elizabeth from behind, pinning her arms. She gave him hell, stomping on his foot and kicking him. Ellis tried to shove Bryn toward the door, but Bryn was suddenly made of marble. He wouldn’t budge. He stared at Elizabeth, passive but attentive, as though watching her from far away.
