The attraction is mutual, and despite knowing better, Lady Emelia allows him to kiss her behind a hedgerow. Who will know but them? When the earl asks permission to marry Emelia, her father denies him, requiring him instead to court Emelia for eight weeks. He’s only allowed to see her once each week, however. Desperate to spend more time with her, Fennington devises a scheme in which he’ll be able to do just that, but in disguise. Emelia will have to meet Mr. Pepperidge in the park once a week to provide him the gossip she hears from her friends. That, or he’ll print the news of her kiss with Fennington in The Tattler!
