Miss Pendleton returned straight home after her conversation with Miss Lance.
On her way home, she was troubled by the issue of Miss Lance and Mr. Dalton, but soon forgot about it as the carriage entered Grosvenor Street. There was now a bigger problem ahead of her.
Her uncle would surely summon her to his study as soon as she arrived and interrogate her about the marriage matter, and she would have no choice but to tell the truth. What would her uncle say when he heard what she had done today? How would he react?
