#remember that convo we had about hannah's loyalties

“You needn’t keep glancing so furtively in my direction, Mr Wingrave.” 

Hannah’s voice is as even and pleasant as it would be if she were simply asking him how his journey had been. She wouldn’t be broaching this particular topic if she wasn’t absolutely certain that they weren’t going to be overheard - and isn’t her intimate knowledge of the goings on at Bly really rather the point?

She’s the only one of the staff still there at this hour. Charlotte is upstairs with Miles, telling the boy stories until he falls asleep. Dominic is away - which is, of course, why Henry is here.

“I know. But the information will go no further, as far as I’m concerned. I only thought I should mention as much to you because, frankly, that dreadful look of concern you’ve been wearing in my presence since you arrived is more suspicious than anything else that’s happened.”

@wasworthy​​ should know better than to encourage me by now
