The Butler & The Bluestocking. Marr Family Novella

What could a bluestocking and a butler possibly have in common? When she unlocks the door to their borrowed York townhouse, the last thing Bess expects to find is a stranger claiming to be a butler. She has every reason to disbelieve him, but her family is in desperate need, so she squelches common sense and offers him a job on the spot. Pray heaven, she won't regret her decision. On arriving in York to visit his godmother, the honorable Malcolm K.
Marr did not expect to find her house locked and empty. Nor did he expect to have to break in to the house to find shelter. Least of all did he expect to be awakened at mid-day after the break in to find a woman with the bearing of an Egyptian goddess demanding to know what he was doing in her house.
