From where he sat with his solicitor, he could only catch bits of conversation. “… attempted murder is not a matter easily…” “… assaulted his betrothed. Surely…” “It’s a matter for the courts… must be taken seriously…” His solicitor raised his eyebrows in question, but said nothing. Finally, Nelson approached. “Despite the lack of evidence, there is enough to hold you on the charge of attempted murder while we investigate the matter further. I do understand there were extenuating circumstances involving a theft and an assault of your betrothed, however those are separate cases and will be dealt with independently. I do assure you if Lord Fenwick is guilty of those charges, justice will be sought. However, your actions are your own and it is that with which I am currently concerned.” John protested, and pleaded Seth’s case, but Nelson would not be swayed. Seth resigned himself to the fact that he would be spending quite a bit of time in a cell until the matter was either resolved, or the case went before a court and jury of Victor’s peers.
