Interesting Things

Terrence smoked heavily from the cigar in between his fingers as he lay on the bed. The inn wasn’t all that comfortable, but it was better than not having anywhere to stay. He was furious, and he needed a plan. He was certain that Barton would never let him have those properties easily, but he would take them by force. If only he knew the lawyer that was in charge of the whole thing.

One thing he was also certain of was that his father had not left anything for him. How would he? When he had banished him since twelve. He would have his vengeance by selling every single thing his father had left behind.

Barton had not changed one single bit. He was still acting like the dutiful boring son that he had always been. Well, one thing had certainly changed, and that was the beautiful lady he had seen—Theodosia. She was indeed beautiful, and not only would he take everything from him, he would make sure he has the lovely damsel as well, including his sister.

“I am not certain that Luanne would want to support me,” he said to his servant, who had come to the inn with him.

They had secured the inn that night for he was really angry that Barton hadn’t even offered him a place to stay. Well, probably because he didn’t ask.

“I believe it is expected if she doesn’t want to have anything to do with you. The last memory she had of you was that of pain. I believe if you can convince her to forgive you, maybe she will,” said Ron. He was a young lad in his early twenties.

Terrence scoffed and rose up to a sitting position. “I cannot go back empty-handed Ron, I have been planning this for months. There is nothing at Lottingburgh for us. Everything we need is right here. I just need to know what to do.”

Ron sighed. “Excuse me, my lord. I need to go feed the horses.”

“You can go.”

Ron bowed slightly and exited.

Terrence checked the time on the wall, it was close to midnight. He was too angry to catch any sleep. Perhaps, if he could get some sleep, things would be easier, he thought. He was thinking on this when Ron rushed in abruptly.

“What is it?” he asked angrily.

“My lord, I think you need to come see this,” said Ron. “I think we just got a solution to our problem.”

Terrence frowned but out of curiosity, followed Ron. Ron knew better than to deceive him or raise a false alarm.

They walked out of the room and went towards the bar. The place was not as crowded as it once was. Now, there were fewer men drinking, smoking and cursing. The lady at the bar was also dozing off little by little.

“What exactly did you call me here for?” he asked Ron as they stood close to the wall.

“Those men, there,” said Ron close to his ears.

Terrence looked at the angle where he pointed. There were two men sitting close to the wall in their opposite direction.
