Lucius is not a man to be trifled with, both Lavinia and Jacques need to be very careful around him going forward.
It is a pleasure to read the interaction between these two very different people. Cedric is fortunate to have such friends, especially now with him suffering from the ill effects of a gunshot wound.
Since this is not 21st century medicine, Cedric needs to be abed for a space of time. Let us hope the Earl does not return anytime soon. Oh, his crime may have been 20 years ago, but there are still those who remember, they simply are not speaking of it
Yummy, another chapter!
