Blanche Fury Page #3

It was only three months ago

when we had the good fortune

to trace your mother's letters

that I first became hopeful.

Now at least we know the places that

she and Adam Fury visited in Italy.

We can have the registers examined

and see if a marriage

ceremony really did take place.

How long have I to be patient?

Can't you imagine how I feel,

being ordered about by these... people?

These Fullers strutting about the place!

Can't you understand? Clare's

been in my family for generations!

It's in my blood!

It isn't a question of words

written in ink or a lot of papers,

laws and seals, it's part of me!

Really, Mr. Thorn.

Your attitude doesn't make it

any easier for me to help you.

I know, Mr. Calamy.

And I need your help. I need it badly.

Rely on me, Mr. Thorn.

If there's any record

in the places mentioned,

you may be sure my agents

in Italy will find it.

But it will take time.

Good evening, Mr. Thorn.

Thank you, Mr. Calamy.

That was much better, Lavinia, darling.

As for you, cousin Laurence,

you are patience itself.

- Thorn, have you any news?

- No.

Aimes and Elliot have been all over.

There isn't a fence down

and the gates are shut.

Those horses were stolen. In

my opinion, stolen by gypsies.

My father wants you to ride into

Stafford and inform the police.

Police?

By the time they do anything, the

horses will be sold out of the county.

See that my father's

orders are carried out.

Lavinia, this is your last chance.

If you disobey me this time,

I'll have you sent to bed.

Try to do as Father says, and

don't hold on to the saddle.

Try very hard and then you

shall have a special treat.

Good morning.

I was expecting you to ride

today. Your horse is waiting.

Mr. Laurence wanted me here.

I'll ride this afternoon

while Miss Lavinia is resting.

She'll need a rest after that.

Elliot, has Mr. Thorn

left for Stafford yet?

I don't think so, miss.

- Do you know where I can find him?

- No, miss. But Aimes would know.

Thank you.

- Where is Mr. Thorn?

- He's in his room, miss.

Oh, thank you, Aimes.

May I ask to what I owe this honour?

You may.

Do you mind if I sit down?

Mr. Thorn, you have a habit of speaking

to me in a way that I don't like.

As I may be here for a long time, I

thought we might come to some understanding.

Yes, Miss... Fuller.

Why do you persist in

calling me by that name?

Has it escaped your notice

I'm now called Miss Fury?

I find these sudden changes of

name difficult to get used to.

So I've heard. However,

I should like you to try.

I am a member of the family.

Of course. There's no reason why you

shouldn't take anything they take.

- What do you mean?

- Just that.

They've taken the name of
