A Fashionable Indulgence (Society Of Gentlemen #1) - Plot & Excerpts
Harry was fingering an ivory button, cunningly carved, but he looked up when Julius spoke, that ready smile lighting his cheerful features. “I think that would have been difficult for my parents to arrange.” Julius laughed. “Nonsense. A little planning, a little care…” Harry grinned back. “Why forty years ago?” he asked, and, without waiting for an answer, “What do you think of this?” Julius leaned forward to look, propping himself with a light hand on Harry’s shoulder, and was, not for the first time, conscious of a certain guilt. He still hadn’t apologized for his loss of temper on the ride, several days ago now. He rarely apologized for anything. It gave him a sour satisfaction to see who would not tolerate insult, who would swallow it whole, and who would forgive it. Harry had tolerated it one way or the other, meeting him back at the house with a tentative smile once Julius had ridden off the worst of his mood, and to his own surprise, Julius had felt the cold anger melt, just a little.
