chapter 12

The next morning they were both pleasantly exhausted, but not too exhausted to enjoy each other again before getting up to go to Mr. Simcoe's home. They were due there by noon.

They made it to Mr. Simcoe's just before their appointment, they would have been late if Angie hadn't put a stop to Roderick's roaming hands. When they knocked the butler announced them to Mr Simcoe in his study. "Good afternoon, I hope you are enjoying married life?" Angie blushed, a very becoming pink, before she could catch herself. "Come have a seat, I'm sure you're both curious about why I summoned you." Once they were seated and they both had their drinks Mr Simcoe continued, "Lady Angelica, when your father was alive he taught you how to decode, I know because he told me. I have a document here that is very important, it could mean the death of many if in the wrong hands, Whitehall needs you, dear, we need you to decode this document for me so we can get our people out of France safely. Will you help?" B
