Lady Vixen
“It was only in London that he had any hope of discovering any useful information, but London was not the best place in which to convalesce.
He had a lively horror of his great-aunt and Mrs. Eggleston descending upon him with possets, as well as having to suffer his concerned grandfather's calls nearly every day. His friends, he thought crossly, were more likely to cause a setback in his recovery than to speed it up. Determined to cheer him, they had crowded into his rooms, drunk his brandy, lau...ghed and talked and finally passed out drunk as owls on his bedroom floor. No, London definitely was not the place for someone who needed several days of quiet and rest.
More importantly he had decided he had been chasing after a will-o'-the-wisp. It had been a half-mad dream of his and Jason's to think he could discover anything of importance. He had known that it was not likely to be successful before he had even consented to the improbable scheme, but he had been hopeful that somehow, someway, with a little luck he might be able to overcome the nearly insurmountable odds.MoreLess
