âLetâs go another round.â Jasper St. David motioned to the comely serving girl as she bustled past their corner table, a tray and pitcher in hand. The clock hadnât struck nine and the less than respectable tavern where he celebrated with his comrades offered hours of inane idleness.
âYouâve spent your coin on the last three. Iâll pay this time.â Benedict Hampden, Viscount Kellaway, drained his ale and spun the tankard on the tabletop with a quick flick of the wrist before trapping the glass under his palm and righting it. âI suppose new money burns a hole in oneâs pocket so feel free to settle the dinner tab.â
âWeâre celebrating,â Jasper admonished. âAnd Iâve every right. Having suffered months of penny-pinching under my brotherâs perspicacious scrutiny, wealth offers freedom in spades.â
âTread with care,â Oliver Nicholson, a loyal friend, chimed in. âYouâve just signed an annual lease on upper Bond Street. Youâre about quality now. The monthly payments are sure to impact your finances.â
âMinuscule worries, at most.â Jasper finished off what remained in his glass before snapping his eyes across the room in search of more drink. âThe office opens to business next week. Everything has proceeded swimmingly, although I havenât met the tenant abovestairs. The landlord mentioned some type of charitable organization leased the adjoining space. I can only hope it doesnât equate a coven of mawkish old biddies coming and going while I confer with clients.â
