Pleasures Of A Notorious Gentleman - Plot & Excerpts
Stephen glanced up to see Spencer standing there. The doors in this residence were so well oiled that he seldom heard them opening and closing. Spencer seemed to be able to glide around the manor without his feet ever touching the floor. His quietness was unnatural. “Spencer.” “I hate to disturb you, sir—” “Then don’t.” He was weary of seeing sheep in the fields. He wanted horses. Good, strong horses for the regiments. Talks were under way to end this damned slaughter going on in the East but there would always be wars, and soldiers needed dependable mounts. He and Ainsley had argued about it. “No need to change from what works,” Ainsley had said. No need to have your brother sitting on his arse all day looking over ledgers. Stephen wanted to map out a strategy that would show that his plan could work. He’d sold his commission. He had a good portion of the salary the army had paid him. It was a start, but he would still need to borrow some money in order to purchase his own land, his own place, his own horses.
