Chapter Eight

Saturday dawned dry and bright, but it took a long time to penetrate into the skulls of the two young men who occupied one of the beds in one of The Beaulieu’s best suites. Coppersmith eventually woke with a start, leaping immediately from his rest like an old sailor when the drum beat the crew to quarters. He automatically made his way to the other room, arriving with only minutes to spare before the maid brought the tea. It was only then that he realized he was in Jonty’s bed and had left a blond head peacefully snoring in his own.

Orlando spent a good ten minutes just worrying about whether the maid had noticed, whether she would say anything to her friends. Which then led him to another ten minutes of speculation about how being a servant in a hotel might lead you to having all sorts of sources of information that could be tapped into for blackmailing purposes.

Realizing that his tea had grown cold in the untouched cup, he ventured across to the other bedroom, where gentle rumblings told him that Stewart was still asleep, which at least gave him the satisfaction that he too had missed out on a refreshing brew.

Coppersmith swallowed hard. “Three more minutes

sleep and it would have been two years hard labor.”

Jonty grinned. “That’s such a romantic expression to use to your lover in the morning, especially after a night of bliss. I don’t know how I cope with the ardor of your speech.”

“You’ll never really want to take me seriously, will you?”

“No, not if I live to be a hundred. Especially when you pout like that.” Stewart stretched. “Unfortunately it seems to be time to get dressed. I have every intention of carrying on the stunning impression we made last night. I’m going to wear my most outrageous blazer, and since you don’t have a jacket of sufficient élan to match it, I’m going to lend you a tie that will knock the ladies’ hats off.”

Orlando grinned, refusing to show the distinct

misgivings he had about wearing one of his friend’s ties, some of which were particularly forceful. “As you wish. I’ll happily concede that I did quite enjoy myself at the dance last night, despite my qualms. If you promise that you won’t say I told you so or anything like it, I’ll state that you were right again and that I should trust you much more than I do.”

“I won’t say it, Orlando. It’ll be enough that you’ll concede to wearing any tie I choose.
