Prologue
Markham ManorâFebruary 1803
âWhy donât we go and walk in the orchard, Mama?â He tugged her hand, hoping she would cease staring at the river. While her distant mood and melancholy were nothing new, and nor was the route their daily walk had taken, the water was high and angry after the week of rain and the sight of it bothered him.
âWhen I was a young girl, Jake, we used to promenade along the River Thames at Putney. Sometimes my father would row us out onto the water, but more often than not we used to sit on the banks with a picnic. He used to love escaping the crowds of London and while away the hours on that pretty stretch of the river.â At least she was talking, albeit about the past again, which was a marked improvement on the painful silence he had endured for the last two hours.
