Читать книгу A Mistletoe Masquerade - Louise Allen - Страница 3
ОглавлениеDear Reader,
Upstairs and downstairs in the Regency household mirrored each other in numerous ways – although, of the two, downstairs was possibly the more rigid and stratified. And while the domestic staff had to think about their employers and their guests every minute of their working day, the privileged inhabitants of the upstairs world could go about their lives blissfully unconcerned about what the staff thought of them.
Lucas and Rowan think they know what is best for their friends and intend to set their love lives straight by plunging into the looking-glass world below stairs. I hope you enjoy their Christmas masquerade as they battle with the mysteries of the brushing room and the boot cupboard, the etiquette of Pug’s Parlour, the formalities of the Servants Ball and the mortifying insight into the servants’-eye view of their masters’ lives.
Their love affair seems doomed by circumstance, but this is Christmas after all, and under the mistletoe wishes can come true.
Louise
