The Soldier's Poisoned Heart (True Love And Deception) (Victorian Historical Romance book 1)
“He thought it was a particularly odd change of pace for the boy; usually he was out and gone, nowhere to be found after breakfast, sometimes only home late in the evening, but now he found that he was quite glad for the boy's presence.
He needed someone to go with him, and he needed some advice, and while he could get Mark to go into town at the drop, essentially, of a hat, he couldn't be sure of the hostler's taste in anything. That meant that he was the furthest thing from an ideal choice... to go to for advice.
Henry, on the other hand, had his fair share of vices, but John Paul found that he had generally agreeable tastes. He hadn't turned him wrong yet, after all.

He seemed an ideal, if unlikely, choice. He was, after all, almost never actually around.MoreLess
