Perkins was there, impatiently pacing back and forth. "Ah, perfect timing, sir."

"What's your problem?" He lifted a dark brow.

"Actually, it is your problem, sir." He began helping Noah exchange last night's evening clothes for fresh white slacks and a dark blue knit sports shirt. "Miss Gwen has been frantic. She tried raising you by the house intercom and when that failed, she came pounding on your door. When she saw your bed neatly made . . ." Perkins hesitated a moment before adding, "Really, sir, if you're going to keep any more nocturnal rendezvous, you must learn how to play the game of subterfuge."

A low groan escaped Noah. He ran a hand over his face. "Why suddenly is everyone such a game master! First Mimi; now you; next me." His eyes clouded. "Perkins, I'm not up to all this; it's not my style."

"Nonsense, sir." He brushed off the collar and shoulders of the shirt. "You're handling yourself brilliantly. Here are your boat shoes. I told Miss Gwen that you had been up and out early and the maid had already tidied your room."

Settling on the massive cannon ball bed, Noah shook out a navy sock and wiggled it over his foot. "What was I up and out early doing?"

"Checking the entablatures on the roof for possible signs of stress along the cornice, frieze and architrave."

"Perkins, I am impressed. You must have been reading some of my books." Noah grinned in approval. "Was Gwen convinced?"

"Thank you, sir, and yes, I believe she was." Perkins stroked the long bulbous line that was his nose. "Mr. Kingman is looking for you, also. Another camera crew has arrived to photograph and film the castle." He consulted his pocket watch. "They should be enjoying coffee and scones by the pool grotto at this very moment."

Noah rubbed his hands together. "Okay, Perkins, I'm all set. Let's go."

The house manager paused in opening the wooden door. "May I say, sir, you look extremely fit and healthy this morning."

"Why, thank you, Perkins." Noah lifted his cane, weight-lifter's style, over his head. "Amazing what a good night's sleep can do for a man." His eye closed in a broad wink.
