Victoria closed the door behind her and sighed. It had been a long day and she was ready to undress and relax. Victoria removed the cumbersome dress and changed into her long white silk nightgown. She left some of the buttons on the front undone, knowing that later tonight, Louis, if not someone else would have her put of it quickly. Perhaps someone would beat Louis to the punch, perhaps he and another would take turns with her, only time would tell. She bushed her hair looking into the vanity mirror, and then settled into a chair to read for a while. She would read until a suitor came calling, at least she knew that dear footman would come to her sometime tonight.
