Book Two

Never Say "Never"?

It would be superfluous in me

to point out to your lordship that this is war.

—Charles Francis Adams

"I'm very brave generally," he went on in a low voice:

"only to-day I happen to have a headache."

—Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

Chapter Nine

"Monseigneur? A moment of your time, s'il vous plait?" Bramwell turned slowly, leading with his eyes, his head, as Reese struggled to complete folding His Grace's neckcloth into the Waterfall. He blinked once, to be sure he was seeing what he thought he was seeing. He was. Sophie's maid—Desiree, was it?—was standing in his private dressing room as Reese was making him ready for the day. Amazing. Truly amazing.

"Leave us, Reese, if you please," he said, still eyeing the woman as he slid from the high stool he'd

been half-reclining against as the valet fussed over him. She was fifty if she was a day—unnaturally blond, realistically plump, and rather matronly. But with eyes much older than a half century, as old as the oldest profession, and with an air to her that said she was no stranger to gentlemen's dressing rooms, or the sight of those gentlemen in less than a complete state of dress. Amazing, yes. And interesting.

"But, Your Grace?" Reese snatched up Bramwell's coat, holding it by the shoulders. "We are not done, Your Grace."

"Reese, the day I can't put my coat on by myself is the day I shoot myself," Bramwell said, "not that

I wouldn't mind a little help with my boots. But later, Reese. For now, I have company."

The valet bit his bottom lip as he looked from his employer to the female intruder. He whimpered a

time or two as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other, thrust the coat into Bramwell's hands, then fled the room.
