“Come closer boy, I do not have the energy to shout,” she grumbled, and frowned at Sebastian in disapproval when he rolled his eyes and leaned toward her. She just had to find a way to break the news to them. However, she knew that they were a determined group of men who would not stop until they had unearthed the truth and welcomed the past into the present. It was far too late for her to make sure that the Cavendish brothers actually did something useful with the information she was about to impart. This was her final chance to put things right and she simply would not relinquish her hold on life until the secrets of the past were revealed. The fierce glint of determination in her watery grey eyes immediately began to dull, but she kept her gaze locked steadily on his and tried desperately to find the best way to tell him. She gasped and coughed with the effort the simple action took, but refused to give in to death’s icy grasp. Mildred glanced up at Sebastian beseechingly and drew him toward her with surprisingly strong hands.
