“I’m all right; it’s too warm in here, that’s all.”

Johann felt permanently chilled, and the parlor, with fire unlit, seemed as cold as it was outside, but he stood silently, his gaze meeting Lucas’s.

Lucas swung his legs around and sat back against the chaise longue. He felt his neck with one hand.

“I thought you might have done.”

“I never will. I swear to you, Lucas.”

“Leave now.”

Lucas glanced toward the door. Indecision warred with fear on his face.

“Tomorrow night at eight,” he said. “The Blind Beggar Pub, on Whitechapel Road.”

Johann hurried out of the room as Lucas’s wife returned. He tipped his hat and let himself out.
