Regency Sting
“Lord Mainwaring was invited twice to ride with the Prince. Peter was happily neglecting his studies to make frequent trips in Jason’s company to Cribb’s Parlour and Jackson’s Saloon to watch the boxing matches and to practice the skill himself. Harriet had the pleasure of becoming the envy of her friends for her relationship with the nobleman who was rapidly becoming the darling of the ton.
Everything Jason said was picked up and repeated in all the clubs and salons of London, some young men ev...en going so far as to use “shucks” in their own conversations. The story of Jason’s race with Miles Minton was again repeated, and he was challenged to repeat the event by every rider who had a hope of success. He was offered membership in all the best clubs, and his appearances at White’s, although infrequent, were greeted with eager attention. Matchmaking mamas began to call on Harriet and press her to entice her “interesting” nephew to attend their dinners and balls. Harriet began to wonder if Anne could be right after all; perhaps all this attention would turn Jason’s head.MoreLess
