Since Harry c ould not leave his wife, mother and sister at Abbey Grange while they might still be in danger to search for Davitt ; Micah and Elveston volunteered to see if they could find him .
    Micah made the decision in Glastonbury that he would no longer live the life of a recluse . F or the past seven years Micah closed himself off from being much in company . S ince his beloved wife Lucy and their son died during the birth , he did not desire to be among society .
    He was privileged to watch Harry and Rowena fall madly in love with one another while in Glastonbury . Rowena was a scholar, beautiful and the perfect match for Harry . Micah realized he wanted the perfect woman, the perfect match for a wife for himself . After the seven long years since Lucy died , he wanted a companion suited for him . For, as much as he lo ved Lucy, their union had not been ideal . He loved her , nonetheless .
    Micah prayed to the Archangel Michael in the tower of St. Micha el atop the mysterious and magical Glastonbury Tor for assistance in find ing the perfect woman and wife who would fit into his life . Micah wished for a woman who would happily share her life with him . Absently he touched his coat pocket where he always carried the snow white feather he found at his feet after praying to the Angel in the tower .
    Aside from visiting his grandfather, Lord Chilcompton, h e and Jack attended two social gatherings while in London. Micah already knew the perfect woman for him could not be found in the ballrooms of London . The women he met there reminded him of his first wife, Lucy . They were set to land a wealthy, titled gentleman to find their place, and make their mark i n society . Micah wanted to find his soul mate . He would prefer an intellectual equal . He wanted a love match .
    Being among society again only confirmed that he would not find the woman he searched for in London . Once he returned to Templecombe, he would reintroduce himself into the local society .
    H e planned to travel to Devon in two weeks to visit with his friends, Charlie Inwood, Lord Silverley and Owen Darrington, The Earl of Fitzlewis .
    More impor tantly he would be able to spend time with Lord Fitzlewis’ younger sister, Lady Elizabeth . The two of them always rubbed along together very well when Micah visited Devon . Truly the only young lady whom he felt an attraction to in the past years was Owen’s younger sister . He found her lovely, quite sweet and extremely intelligent . Micah did not know how she felt about him , however . He only knew he was attracted to her. If the visit produced no results, Harry told him in his letter three weeks ago that his wife, Rowena , was chomping at the bit to do some matchmaking for him.
    Micah rather hoped Lady Elizabeth held a tendre for him, for he thought of her often recently . He found himself eager to be in her company again .
    Lady Elizabeth Darrington was tall , s lender , g raceful and physically active . Her hair was dark and her eyes were the color of sapphire s . He remembered her lips were more red than pink, for at first he suspected she rouged them . But spending an entire two weeks at Roseland Abbey with her brother Owen and his friend, Charlie, Lord Silverley , six months ago, Micah realized her lips were just that color naturally .
    What he most liked about Lady Elizabeth was her intelligence . She possessed a keen mind and enjoyed expanding her knowledge . She loved history and seemed very much interested in whatever the Avalon Society was investigating . He rather liked her smile too .
    She was genuine, sincere, just “Libby” as her brother called her . She possessed n o womanly wiles, no r did she use the machinations so commonly used by many women in society . She was merely happy, sweet, friendly, smart Libby . Oh, Micah found her physically beautiful ! He remembered when once in her company, he wondered what it might feel like to have her long legs wrapped around him while he moved inside
