ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS

"While we were at Lady Vincent's finding a Christmas tree," Adrian said firmly, holding out the cards, "You had several callers. Most of them gentlemen. They left their cards."



"I see," Carin said. She clasped her hands primly in her lap.



Adrian frowned. "Are you not going to take them?"



"No," Carin said. "It was never my intention to enter society when I came here. Not do I wish to do so now."



"Take them," Adrian growled.



"No," Carin said, shaking her head. "I do not wish to have anything to do with men. They are not trustworthy."



Adrian stiffened. "No doubt that remark was made for my benefit."



"No it wasn't," Carin said, tilting her chin defiantly though her eyes told him differently.
