The news of Lord Farrington's terrible conviction and his sentence of death spread through the London Ton faster than a winter fire. The untouchable Earl was completely ruined, and the heavy, crushing weight of the Crown's justice did not stop with him. It fell directly onto his family.
On the very same day the Earl was dragged away to the dark cells of the Tower of London, a squad of heavily armed Crown Guards arrived at the grand, sweeping Farrington estate in the city.
Lady Farrington received the exact same harsh, unforgiving treatment as Eunice Kingsley.
The guards marched directly into her drawing room. They did not care about her complaints. They did not care about her tears. They carried a parchment signed by the High Chancellor himself.
