Romeo signaled to the chef to fetch a blanket. The chef tiptoed away and returned with it. Romeo gently draped it over Arabella.

“Ma’am, Ms. Bella is asleep. Mr. McMillan thought she was very tired, so he wanted her to sleep a bit longer before coming inside.”

Louisa nodded. “I see. I’ll have the kitchen prepare something for when Arabella wakes up. When she does, have Romeo come inside for dinner.”
