The church door creaked as Parker opened it. Penelope stepped inside cautiously. She had not been in church for years, but today she had a solemn errand.
The black-garbed priest met her, smiling kindly, hand outstretched. "Lady Penelope?" Penny nodded. "I'm pleased to meet you. I wish these were happier circumstances."
Penny shook the proffered hand."Thank you, Reverend." She gazed slowly around the nave. "Her Grace, the Duchess of Royston left strict instructions for her funeral. Where may we discuss the matter?"
The priest gestured into the sanctuary. "My office. Please follow me."
Penny turned. "Come along, Parker."
