Richard Testrake - (Sea Command 2) - Plot & Excerpts
On the salver was a letter bearing the Admiralty seal. He had been expecting a call to take command of Valkyrie again, but apparently this was not the case. He was directed to call upon Secretary Evan Nepean at his earliest convenience. He doubted the Admiralty secretary would wish to see him over routine business. More junior functionaries handled that sort of thing. Over the past month, the fiction that he was merely a guest in this house had been more or less discarded and while Doris did not know quite the whole story, she did know he was a wealthy captain in the Royal Navy who did not abuse young women. She knew he was no stranger to danger and would likely be going off to war sooner rather than later. Doris was developing a fondness for this officer and was dreading the day he would leave. Apparently, this could well be that day. With his quarterdeck bellow, he called the staff of the house and directed his sea chest be packed and brought down.
