CHAPTER ELEVEN

Sainted Stephen’s Sticky End

Despite my subtle gamesmanship, I was unable to draw from Monty a confession that he was a traitor to his class and country. He was much more responsive to my aunt’s expression of the famous Boisjoly charm in the form of swooning sighs and the random but judiciously deployed ‘tell me more’s. Of course, this only generated more tales of daring, including a variation on Flaps’ adventure in which he found himself flying in formation with an enemy squadron. I assume it’s the sort of thing that happened pretty much on rotation during the Great War.

And so it was that I was feeling decidedly fifth-wheelish. I had never seen Aunty Azalea so immersed in anything that wasn’t a velvet curtain, and I don’t mind saying that I was rather moved by the scene.

Angling for an excuse, I remembered, with a twinge above the left temple, Padget’s opus. I claimed that I had to have a look at it before seeing the Vic later that evening. Aunty and Monty gave me leave with little dissent, though, and I doubtless could have told them that I was late for an appointment to have my head shaved and elaborately tattooed for exactly the same effect.
