<strong> Rowena sneaks away</strong><br/><br/>Rowena was a clever woman that much was apparent and the fact she wished to travel to Brighton though not easy was certainly not impossible. It would perhaps take a little talking so some of her most trusted servants who might distract her Aunt for the day. It would not be difficult, as certain household tasks needed to be checked and the same was true for the gardens, which were extensive. As it was the younger of the gardeners had rather a crush on his mistress thus was more than happy to help.<br/><br/>Any gossip about the trip had been silenced by a number of more senior maids and some of the younger ones had been allowed a little longer in bed to keep them quiet.<br/><br/>As it was the spinster aunt was unaware of any plans and was more than happy to organise the estate for her ‘flighty’ niece as she went for tea with another society friend.<br/><br/>Thus Rowena was able to escape to Brighton, knowing her Aunt was preoccupied with rather mundane household activities. As it was it did still feel like the young heiress was being watched. With each day the feeling grew more intense.<br/><br/>
