To Return or Not to Return
That bloody Australian had tricked him.

unorthodox - and he didn't believe Lionel about the smoking, how could it possibly
do him harm?
But he'd swallow his pride and return. Act as if nothing had happened. A little
awkward yes, but it wasn't as if Lionel could refuse to treat the Duke of York.
He hoped.
