Late May 1820
âEnglish pigs!â
The wrought-iron bars rattled again as another hailstorm of stale breadcrumbs hit him squarely in the face. She might well be a traitor and a termagant, but Lady Jessamine Faneâs aim was reliably accurate.
âIâm sorry, my lord. Had we known she was stockpiling her rations to use as weapons we would have relieved her of them.â
Lord Peter Flint dusted the latest baked embellishments from his lapels and smiled tightly. âPay it no mind, Captain. This is an unusual situation for all of us.â It wasnât every day that a Royal Navy frigate became a floating prison for one inmate and a female one at that. Nor did he, in the usual run of things, find himself the reluctant gaoler of one, tasked with dragging her foul-mouthed and fiery carcass back to London. A job that he was now prepared to concede might not be as simple as he had first thought. Lady Jessamine did not strike him as one who would go meekly. Or even quietly. The blasted woman had been hurling abuse at them for the better part of half an hour. Hell, sheâd been yelling from the moment he boarded the ship and they had set sail an hour ago. A constant tirade of pithy, imaginative and noisy invective issued alongside the flying food from her nest in the shadows.
