Yikes! Lucius is definitely the pre-soul of Lex Luthor. Ugh. He cares nothing for what Lavinia has to say or what her interests are as long as he can squirrel her away from her father and get her alone. I'm glad that Lavinia has already had her head turned by the Avenger before arriving in Kentham and meeting the 8th Earl.
What other activities and financial pursuits does Lucius do while in London, besides update his wardrobe? Are they legal?
Cedric seems like a good sort of man and I hope he doesn't allow poor Lavinia too much time alone with his uncle while he visits those on the estate. I hope that Lucius isn't going to try to do something improper to seduce Lavinia and ruin her honorable name, especially while Cedric is out of the house. It is clear to me that Lucius's intentions are not honorable!
