The Lawrence Browne Affair<\/em><\/a> (2017) Cat Sebastian<\/a> (The Turner Series #2)<\/p>\n

\"TheSet in Cornwall, England in 1816<\/p>\n

\u201cFive servants quit,\u201d Halliday said, tapping Lawrence\u2019s desk in emphasis. Dust puffed up in tiny clouds around the vicar\u2019s fingertips. \u201cFive. And you were woefully understaffed even before then.\u201d <\/p>\n

Five fewer servants? So that was why the house had been so pleasantly quiet, why his work had been so blissfully undisturbed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lawrence felt his chest tighten, his lungs constrict, as if he were being buried alive. He needed to be alone, to be in control, to do whatever he needed to make these sensations stop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was satisfying, too, to create order out of utter chaos. It was like untangling a thread or picking a lock.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI wonder what will happen when you realize you aren\u2019t mad. So much of your life hangs from that one supposition. It\u2019s like the story you were telling me about that Italian fellow who thought electricity was inside the dead frog\u2014a lot of his science was rubbish because of that one error. What will you do with yourself when you grasp that your mind is only different, not deranged?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
