*** This novella was previously found in the anthology, An Encounter at the Museum.

Hestia Wright, famed former courtesan, proprietor of the Half Moon House, and philanthropist pledged to help any woman in trouble, finds her work follows her everywhere—even to a day of relaxation at the British Museum. There, amidst the art and the artifacts, she finds not one, but two candidates who might need her special sort of assistance . . . or perhaps, they just need a nudge toward each other . . .

Tall, practical girls might not be worth much in man's world, but Miss Lisbeth Moreton knows she's worth more than the squire's prized heifer. To change her fate, she's run off to a date with destiny at the British Museum. Her would-be swain never shows, but an unexpected encounter with Lord Cotwell and his lonely ward might lead to altogether new prospects . . . and perhaps to love.
