Hartie walked over and opened the door. Under the flickering lantern light, Isolde saw a woman in a blue cotton jacket standing in the courtyard–it was indeed Renee, Cristina’s personal maid.

Hattic stepped back inside, shutting the door firmly behind her. “Ignore it. Go back to sleep

“What happened?” Isolde asked.

“Nothing. And even if something did happen, it’s none of the Lady’s concern.” Hattie’s voice carried a trace

of irritation.

Isolde frowned. “Tell me. Did something happen to Cristina?”

“Whatever happens to her, it’s not our problem.”

“Hattie.” Isolde fixed her with a firm gaze. “Cristina is Oliver’s concubine–at least in name. That makes her part of this household. If something happens to her, I have to handle it. Unless, of course, you want to give Allan an excuse to find fault with me tomorrow.”

“How could he find fault with you? You just married in today. If anyone should be handling this, it’s Margaret. What kind of new bride starts managing the household on her wedding night?”

Isolde sighed. “If they hadn’t come knocking, I wouldn’t bother. But since they did, we can’t pretend we didn’t hear.”

Hattie huffed. “Doug said tonight wouldn’t be peaceful. Guess he was right. Cristina’s maid came running to report that she attempted suicide–slit her wrists.”

“Slit her wrists? Why?” Isolde was stunned.

“Who knows?” Hattie scoffed. “If she really wanted to die, she could’ve done it somewhere else. Choosing tonight of all nights–she’s clearly trying to stir up trouble.”

Isolde hadn’t expected this. Cristina had always looked down on Oliver, and she had to know she’d be dealt with after the wedding. She hadn’t even consummated the marriage with him–still a maiden in every sense. What could drive her to such extremes?

“I’ll go take a look. Wait outside while I get dressed.”

Hattie hurried after her. “Don’t-”

They both stopped.
