Summary:
“Silence.” The Earl’s voice snapped, cold as a winter wind, and Thomas stopped.
“Father?”
He
knew Alfred was angry, but he had never heard such a tone in his
father’s voice before. The sound of it frightened him, a cold something
writhing in his stomach, sending warning signals flaring up. “Father, I
-”
“I said silence!” Alfred turned, his watery blue eyes fixing
on Thomas. “You were seen today speaking with Leftenant Harris of the
Venture. Do you deny it?”
“Well I can hardly confirm or deny it if you insist on silence,” Thomas started to point out.
“Now is not the time for your insolence,” Alfred warned, and Thomas frowned.
“No, I don’t,” he started, and Alfred nodded.
“Very
well,” he said crisply, cutting Thomas off. “I had hoped we could avoid
this – that with your sodomite lover gone, you would return to reason,
but clearly you are even more insensible to reality now than you were
when last we spoke. You leave me no choice.” The Earl gestured, and
Thomas whirled, realizing too late that two of his father’s men had
moved to stand behind him. They grabbed hold of his arms, hands like
vices on his biceps, and he struggled, the warning bells that had been
ringing faintly until now fairly deafening.
“What the hell
do you think you’re doing?” he demanded, trying futilely to dislodge
their hands. He looked back to his father, who stood with a look of
steely disapproval on his face that caused Thomas’ heart to skip a few
beats. “Father -” he started.
“These men will escort you to a
place where you may see the error of your ways. We will speak again when
I am told that you have learned how to behave appropriately. Take him.”
Alfred turned.
