Excerpt of THE INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES OF LIBERTY JONES #2

Chapter 29

“Ah! There you are Miss Jones!” Henry came limping toward her leaning on his cane.

Those not dancing were crowded around the dance floor. Libby reached out to steady Henry as he was jostled. She looped her arm in his letting him lean slightly on her. He nodded his thanks.

She knew it wasn’t considered proper, as they had only been introduced that evening but, there was something about the frail man that stirred a protectiveness in her she couldn’t explain. Maybe it was that despite his condition he was still a cheerful soul, and such people in Libby’s opinion needed to be looked after.

“But why are you not dancing my dear?” he asked.

She showed him her dance card and the blank space next to the first waltz.

“If I was well enough, I would be out there with my Helen, she’s a wonderful dancer,” he said, as his wife and her partner for the dance swirled by. “Next year, I vow to be rid of this malady and will dance my wife off her feet.”

She gave his arm a squeeze. “I don’t doubt it in the slightest, Mr. Taylor,” Libby told him.

“Henry, please,” he said. “I greatly admired your uncle. He was a man of impeccable character.”

“Thank you, Henry, that means so much,” she said. “And I would be pleased if you could call me Liberty.”

Henry nodded his smile wide. “Liberty Jones!” he laughed. “Now that’s a name fit for a heroine in a novel.”

Libby was laughing along with him when a voice spoke up from behind her.

“A novel filled with many incredible adventures, no doubt!”

Libby froze. She knew that voice. The scent of cedar cologne teased her nose.
