******************

A footman was waiting at the door. He looked Sara over boldly, and said, "The captain's entertainer's arrived at last. Hope you're expecting a lively night, slut." Sara considered slapping the lewd grin off the man's face, but decided discretion "was safer for getting Lewis and her through this crazy situation.

"My wife's come to play for the company," Lewis said in a low, cold voice.

The man gave Lewis a brief, disdainful look as he grabbed her by the arm. "Your pimp can wait here if he wants, but it's going to be a long night." He pushed Sara inside. "Don't worry about your fee, tsigane," he added to Lewis before closing the door in his face, "your wife's pretty enough to earn you a fortune."

It took Lewis a precious instant to recover from the shock of the servant's insolent words. Then rage flooded him, turning the world red and driving all thought of the brooch out of his head. But when he would have pounded angrily on the door he found himself frozen in place. His limbs felt weighted down by bands of silver.

"Live with it, gypsy," the ring said coldly. "Or remember that you're not a gypsy and get on with your mission."

I won't have them treating her like a whore!

"She can take care of herself. That's why I picked her for this job."

You picked— I thought I picked— what is this job? Sara had said the ring was manipulating them.

He no longer dismissed anything she'd said as insane ravings.

"We both want to get the brooch to Bororavia, Lieutenant," the ring said. "Let's just concentrate on that for now, shall we?"

Lewis sighed, and felt control of his muscles returned to him. The ring was right; there was much to do. But I'll kill anyone who harms her, he added as he looked around for a way into the chateau.

"Fine," the ring said. "I'll be happy to help you. There's a kitchen maid coming this way from the dairy.

Try exerting a little of that Morgan charm on her to get us into the kitchen."

A pretty girl came hurrying toward him a moment later. Lewis didn't bother asking the ring how it had known the girl was coming; he just fell back into his role between one breath and the next. He moved to intercept her without hesitation, summoning up a boyish smile to turn on what looked like an overworked child. Within minutes he had in his helpful hands the heavy bucket she was carrying. It took only a few more coaxing words before she'd invited him into the buttery to keep her company while she went about her work. Keeping her company proved taking more time offering kisses and compliments than he liked, but she wasn't one to be rushed. She had to hide him from the butler when he came in and fussed at her about the quality of the cream. Eventually she went off to the kitchen to fetch her hungry new friend a bowl of potage. He followed the ring's directions to the back stairs as soon as the girl was out of sight.
