April 1816
John Evans was on the way to becoming well and
truly foxed. His mouth was beginning to take on
an unpleasant taste, and a warm buzz had settled
over his senses. At this rate, he’d be in no condition to set
out for Yorkshire tomorrow. His vision was still clear,
however, so he ignored his normal caution.
This was his last evening in London, not that he’d miss
the place. He longed for the quiet country life of his youth.
But he would miss the two men sitting at the table with him
now, laughing as they shared some of the pleasant memories
they’d experienced over the past few years. They were the
brothers he’d never had. No one wanted to talk about the
friends they’d lost during the long war with Napoleon, not
tonight, but they’d never be forgotten.
“And then Sir Galahad decided to jump in and rescue the
poor damsel!”
Baron Cranston slapped John on the shoulder, the wide
grin on his face indicating he was equally deep in his cups.
“How have I never heard this story before?”
The Viscount Ashford grinned. He raised his cup in a
mock salute and downed the rest of the liquid. “I was saving
it. Since this will be our last evening together for the
foreseeable future, I figured there was no point letting it go
to waste.”
John crossed his arms and scowled at Ashford. His friend
never tired of tormenting him about John’s inclination to
jump in without thinking when a woman needed assistance.
“I have two sisters, as you both know. If you sorry lot
were similarly afflicted, you’d understand what it is to feel
the need to come to a woman’s rescue.”
Ashford shook his head. “I do have sisters, so that excuse
doesn’t apply. No one here would stand by and allow a
woman to be taken advantage of. But we draw the line at
saving light-skirts from plying their trade.”
