Chills crawled down her spine and stood the tiny hairs at
the back of her neck on end. The last thing she expected on this June day was a
visitation from beyond, and certainly not by merry dancers.
She shrank noiselessly against the wall, pinching her
pebbled arms to be certain she was awake.
Could she dream she was pinching herself?
What about the strong scents? The pungency of tobacco smoke
and flowery perfumes wafted around her. Were odors a part of dreams? And
sounds?
Dear Lord, how was any of this possible?
Uncertain if she were dreaming or haunted, she gaped at the
animated figures. Wait. There. Him.
Her attention riveted on one young man in the gathering.
He’d spun by earlier. She’d swear he gazed over his shoulder in her direction,
then promenaded up the hall. His expert steps returned him again to the
entryway.
Unlike the other dancers, he was fully corporeal. No
partially seen legs or torso. Fitted blue breeches and silk stockings encased
his long muscular legs. He wore his own chestnut brown hair pulled back in a
queue at his neck, free of powder, while most male heads were wigged and white.
The deep blue suit tailored to his tall figure complemented his deft steps in
the English country dance.
Something about him held her spellbound…the tilt of his
head, arch of his brow, glimpse of his profile… She followed his every move
with the fixity of an owl.
