Jonathan Cavendish:
Jonathan rises and leaves the Everett & Everett offices. He is silent until they get back to Blenheim Place. He asks for brandy and cigars in the library. Once Mrs Hendersen has left the room, he pours for everyone and offers the cigars.
"Well, my friends, quite a blow. On the other hand, I'm still about a quarter of a million dollars richer than I was last month, let's keep that in mind.
"Now, how do we proceed vis-à-vis my father's enemies? And mine. Shall we decamp for Axbury and Soran's place in the morning? Or should we up stakes and head for the good old US of A and leave the old world to stew in its own juices?"
Whoa there Jonathan, you are having flashbacks to the last time we ran this :) You have not yet met Mrs Henderson, she is in your town house in Kingsate Square, which you have yet to visit. Is that where you were intending to go?
