Death By Disputation (A Francis Bacon Mystery Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
His body felt delicious: warm, supple, and well used. He and Ben had spent the last hour enjoying a private supper in his rooms at Gray’s Inn. Now, alas, they must return to the never-ending obligations of work. He’d heard the door to the outer chamber open and close a few minutes ago. His servant must have brought the Saturday mail. Pinnock was too well trained to interrupt when his master was occupied in the bedchamber. Francis kissed Ben on the shoulder and tiptoed into the other room, hoping the boy had brought fresh drinks and some little tidbits as well. Bless you, Pinnock! Francis found a jug of sweet spiced wine, a dish of savory pastries, and a large package wrapped in what looked like a large, dirty neckerchief. He gingerly unwrapped the filthy covering, exposing a pillow case stuffed with documents. The first item he drew forth was a receipt for bricks delivered to Corpus Christi College. He knew at once what the rest of the papers must be: the contents of the bursar’s desk he’d been nagging Tom about for months.
