Chapter 14
The late afternoon sun broke free of the clouds and filtered through the haze hanging over London. Its bright rays cast a shower of colour over the young pair walking slowly back to Mount Street.
"Look, a shower of hundreds of rainbows,” Audacia exclaimed to her brother as they paused at the corner of Berkeley Square.
"It is fortunate that it is only the sun's rays, not rain that causes them,” Daniel told her. He motioned to her thin sprigged-muslin gown. “Does Father know you go about clad in such costumes? I thought Lady Darby was to select your gowns."
"Why, Daniel, you sound like a stuffy old man,” Audacia accused. “Everyone is wearing this style. I have not seen you frown upon any of the ladies we passed this day who were dressed as I."
"But they are not my sister. Oh, Audee, you know what I mean."
"You are being unbelievably priggish, Daniel. What has come over you? I can't believe Mr. Darby's company would have this effect on you. What is it you do when you go about with him?” Audacia asked with more than light interest.
A blush rose across Daniel's cheeks. Tugging, at his cravat, he sought an adequate but slightly inaccurate reply. “We merely see the sights of London,” he said with a shrug.
"Don't think you can fob me off with the likes of that. St. Paul's Cathedral is not likely to be on the list of Mr. Darby's most interesting attractions, nor Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. If such places were, then Helene and I could go with you. What establishments do you frequent?"
"Some of the clubs. Boodle's, White's—"
"Isn't Boodle's notorious for its gambling? Daniel, you aren't!” Audacia stared at him speechless.
"Everyone does it. Why shouldn't I enjoy myself? Zeus only knows when I shall be permitted to come to London again."
"Has Mr. Darby taken you to Waitier's ... to other gaming hells?"
