Chapter Twelve

Iefan didn’t bother returning to the table. There was no need to give his excuses. He had a reputation as a crude scoundrel to maintain, anyway.

He took a cab to the George, intending to get drunk. The tightness in his chest would be eased with a bottle or two of brandy. Or better still, rum.

Iefan had barely known Seth Williams. He had been eleven when Seth died, still too young for adults to deal with Iefan frankly. The truth about that night had remained hidden from everyone for years, not just him.

Yet the stories about Seth had bloomed since he died, well-polished by repeated tellings. They were enhanced each time someone told a tale or related a piece of family history with Seth in it.

Iefan was not Seth Williams and never could be. The man was more legend now than human. Why did he even care?
