The Duke's Dilemma

by Fenella J Miller

He could hear her laughing as he strode off to find the officer leading the troops. Robin told him the young man was waiting for him in the study eager to impart some news.

  Ralph nodded to the officer. ‘Your grace, Captain Carstairs found the perpetrator of this nasty business gibbering in a broom cupboard. The man’s name is Bertram Sinclair, his father, also Bertram, was a remote connection, a cousin of your aunt’s. It appears he gained his knowledge of Neddingfield Hall from his father , whose grandfather lived here years ago. By your demise he believed he stood next in line.’

  ‘Go on, man, tell me the rest. Did Captain Carstairs find out how Sinclair thought he could murder us and still claim the title?’

  ‘It would seem, your grace, he believed creating an atmosphere of fear around this place meant nobody would come to investigate your disappearance, or that of Miss Frobisher. Then after a time he was going to reappear and claim the title and your fortunes.’

  Ralph shook his head. ‘The plans of a madman! He couldn’t claim the title without producing my body and by doing so would incriminate himself. His scheme was ingenious but fatally flawed.’ He nodded, dismissing the soldier. ‘Thank you for your assistance. I shall detain you no longer.’ He strode back to the drawing room but his quarry had gone. He met Polly who smiled and pointed upstairs. Even better – it would be easier to convince his darling girl they were as good as married if she was already in her bedchamber.
