‘As a matter of fact, B...yrone,’ said Ash, ‘I’m looking for Lord Edgar’s suite. I have some urgent business with him that can’t wait. Mustn’t wait.’ Byrone blinked at the investigator’s sudden challenging tone – or perhaps at his impertinence. ‘His lordship is resting at the moment, and I have instructions not to disturb him. You are perhaps aware that he is not in the best of health.’ Ash was becoming impatient.MoreLess
