Philip did his best to keep up with the whereabouts of as many of the houseguests as he could but especially those of Lady Blackstone and her almost-constant shadow, Mr. Ratley.

That evening at dinner, Philip informed the latter two of the dire situation of his mother, saying that she was in an unconscious state and could die at any time, or she might linger for many months. However, he felt his first duty was to make her beloved country a better place, rather than sitting by her bedside.

Lady Blackstone commended his zeal. “You are a true son of England,” she said. “Your mother would be very proud of you.”

Mr. Ratley actually clapped him on the shoulder. “It is hard to lose one’s mother. Let Lady Blackstone and me be your support. We are all a family here, of sorts, fighting for a common cause.”

“Thank you. You are good friends.” Philip endeavored to look humble.

Dinner was the same lingering affair, and everyone seemed to be drinking a bit more than usual. As the meal was drawing to a close, one of the women suggested a game.

“Mr. Ratley says he and Miss Mayson are engaged, but let us see if he is willing to pay for her hand with compliments. He must pay fifteen compliments or we shall lock her away from him until he does.”

Miss Mayson’s porcelain skin turned bright red as a hearty “Huzzah!” went around the table, and all eyes turned to her and her fiancé.
