Teaser Tuesday - Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just:
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their To Be Read (TBR) Lists if they like your teasers!

Matthew and Diana have left England and traveled to Matthew's ancestral home in France, at the command of his father, Philippe.  Philippe has decided that Matthew and Diana's marriage isn't "real," and that a new wedding must be held, beginning with a feast, with everyone in the castle and village in attendance.

The Tease:

 "Our entry into the hall was greeted with whispers and sidelong glances.  The changes in my appearance had been noted, and the nods told me that at last I looked like someone who was fit to marry milord."

 -Shadow of Night, by Deborah Harkness
