India Black And The Shadows Of Anarchy (A Madam Of Espionage Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
While I waited for the young cub to appear, I attended to some household matters, paying the outstanding accounts, prying Mrs. Drinkwater out of bed, and dragging her to the kitchen to feed the girls. Then I unlocked the top right-hand drawer of my desk and took out my Bulldog revolver. I swabbed the barrel, rotated and cleaned the cylinder, and loaded the weapon. I wrapped a handful of extra cartridges in a handkerchief to add to my purse. In my line of work, it pays to have a bit of protection. Dreadful times we live in, when a lady has to carry a weapon when she ventures into certain parishes of the city. I intended to have the Bulldog on my person when I made my foray in search of Martine. Seven Dials was no place for a woman of quality traveling alone, but I didn’t hesitate to venture there with the revolver in hand. Anyone who trifled with me would end up with powder burns on his bollocks. I went into the kitchen to wash my hands and found Mrs. Drinkwater slumbering at the table with her chin propped in her hand.
