Lady X
“He was in the company of a seedy looking individual in seaman’s garb. Sir Jacob wondered what the man was up to.
He shouldn’t care, for now at least, until a few moments ago, he could walk off unnoticed.
It was nearing four o’clock. If he didn’t slip away immediately, it would be too late.
He waited until Jerry gave him his back and quickly hurried around the bend in the avenue to a narrow cobblestone alleyway. He felt a fool as he ran down the long, empty alley, thinking that it was a good thi...ng no one was about.
He should have just bid Swit good-bye and taken off. After all he wasn’t a schoolboy about to be called to heel. He didn’t want to take the chance that Swit would either follow him out of curiosity, or simply tag along.
He slowed down and turned into another alleyway, which after twenty feet, put him at a back road dominated by a dirty-looking, unobtrusive tavern.
Worried, Jacob glanced furtively over his shoulder and then hurried into the dark and dingy galley of inn.MoreLess
