For a moment he stared sleepily at the blue chintz hangings that adorned his bedstead. Black cloaks and false mustaches had tangled together in his dreams.Then memory seeped back. Lady Sophie York wanted to elope, and she wanted him to wear a cloak and mustache, and she threatened not to marry him if he didn’t appear at midnight. Laboriously Braddon sorted out the mingled strains of Sophie’s demand.In the cold light of morning it seemed as mad as Bedlam, that was the only thing one could call i...t. If they ran off to Gretna Green, people would undoubtedly assume that they had anticipated the wedding night. Except she didn’t think of that, Braddon thought complacently.
