A thousand emotions and desires cross your mind at once, and you struggle to come up with a quip that could express them all.

“Oh, darling, let me save you the trouble,” Benedict says, and he drops Cad long enough to draw your face to his and bury your mouth in a kiss that would be everlasting—if Cad didn’t interrupt it by tackling him.

“Damn my eyes!” he yells. “The mighty son of Lord and Lady Granville, heir to everything he has never earned, kissing a common maid in a whorehouse like the bastard he truly is!” Cad’s eyes and voice are charred with jealousy.

“Oh, come now!” Benedict says, deflecting Cad’s next punch and throwing his own. “You’ve done worse in whorehouses!”

“You dare mock me!” Cad launches a fusillade of watercress sandwiches at Benedict before clocking him with the fine silver tray they were laid upon.

“Please!” Benedict sneers, breaking a candle from its elegant pewter taper to use as a death baton. “I mock everyone!”

“Your name! Your fortune! Your station, your love”—Cad manages to sneer at Benedict and spit on you at the same time—“will do you no good where you’re going, man. No one’s life is respected, noble or no, when it is over!” Cad raises the sandwich tray high above him, murder in his eyes, emptiness in his heart, watercress sandwiches on the floor.

“Cad, no!” you scream.

“Slattern, yes!” he screams back.
