    Summary

    "Double or nothing," said Webster abruptly.

    "How exactly do you mean to double 'everything I had?'" said Ash. He meant it to come out level, but there was a quaver in his voice.

    "One more trick," Webster said. "Play, and win or lose you will walk away with your fortune." Ash stared at him. Webster made an impatient gesture. "I don't want or need your money. Or your house. Or your coat and shirt, come to that."

    It was an offer of princely generosity. Ash's mouth was dry. "And what would you have from me?" he asked.

    Something flared in Webster's cool expression for a moment, like a shark flashing a fin in still waters. "A month," he said.

    Summary

    "And you're partnering da Silva, eh? How long shall we expect that to last, da Silva?"

    Daniel arched a brow. "Dear sir, surely you don't intend to cast aspersions on the good captain's endurance? I had heard that you military gentlemen were quite endowed with stamina for the long march."

    Curtis briefly assumed an expression one might expect of a mounted gazelle on a famous explorer's wall: glassy-eyed, hunted, and distinctly stuffed.

    Summary

    Francis steps in close to flick at the knot of Dominic’s cravat, a gesture that feels both intimate and insulting matched with the twisted smile on his face. At close quarters like this, Dominic can feel the way Francis is exhaling harshly through his nose to maintain his sneer. Francis plucks at Dominic’s coat, flicks two of his buttons, tugs at the cuff of his sleeve, and then steps back abruptly.

    “Take it off,” he says.

    Summary

    Jack was still not quite sure how Darling had managed to swing them a shared staircase with no one else on it for their final year. "Interlopers, my dear Jonathan," Darling had said, "are not to be borne in this, our collegiate idyll."
