“How much did your cousin settle on his wards? What amount would be tempting?”

“I think it was six thousand each. The income would be tempting enough, I suppose.”

“Would that tempt you?”

“I suppose it might, if I could be tempted at all. Less than that would not tempt anyone but a tradesman, of course.”

Ewan pondered that. He would increase the settlements to ten thousand. That would tempt even the untemptable.

“Here comes Burchard,” Knightridge said. “He has Abernathy in tow. Since they are both smiling, they must be up for the night.”

Ewan watched his two friends approach. Colin Burchard glowed with the well-being of a man who had enjoyed a good night at the tables. Abernathy always glowed, being a somewhat stupid person who did not understand that life was temporary.

Ewan did not much care for Abernathy, but he did not exactly dislike the young man, either. It would be cruel to hate someone merely for being born with a lack of wits and an excess of optimism.

On the other hand, Abernathy possessed a handsome face and trusting demeanor that would make some equally silly woman very happy.
