CHAPTER FIVE

July, 1790

Dear Toby,

Thank you for Andrew’s gift. The tin soldiers have made him very popular with his friends, although by the time those ruffians are through with them, they will be in less than pristine condition.

Thank you also for arranging the shipment of porcelain. You underestimate the desire for luxury goods in our small part of the world. The Royal Warrant adds not half, but two-thirds to the price, a tidy profit for the importer (me) and the other retailers I supply down river.

Was the mention of Mr. Rosewall’s admirable sister designed to make me jealous? If so, I will be forced to tell you that Mr. Neville was back in town last month, and he tells me he has a very interesting line in ladies’ silk unmentionables.

No matter, I only jest with you as I know I can. I do hope the confidential matter you wrote of is not so serious as to cause an undue delay in your return (and if you take that as confirmation that my tender regard toward you is undiminished, then I shall not disabuse you of it).
