Bath Scandal (1991)
“The plot was entirely inane, the acting inferior, and the music poorly played, but overall it pleased the crowd who had come to be entertained. Millie was a delectable little blonde with just a trace of a lisp. No one was farouche enough to suggest that Lord Gallivant would not immediately fall in love with her, or even that a lord who dropped every second h was an unlikely nobleman. Southam’s party left the theater in high spirits, to retire to the Royal Bath for a late supper.
It was not till this time that Bea could manage a private word with Tannie. “Did you see your uncle?” she asked.
“I received a note from Mr. Jones, but I daren’t go to him. A rascal’s following me. We were seen together at the track, Horatio and I. They are trying to learn from me where he is holed up. The man followed me to dinner, here to meet you, to the theater. As we entered the hotel again, I noticed the demmed—pardon me, ma’am—the curst fellow is still dogging my heels. He is worse than a shadow.”
