Sir Thomas Larchmont could not grasp a motive. Either his son, Thomas Larchmont Jr. was in love or he was in debt. How else could it be explained? Sheer impudence, perhaps?
For his part, Thomas Jr. knew he was tugging against madness. There was a kind of gravity that held it all in check, but how long could he count on that? Lately there were whole nights gone unaccounted. His father knows something. Damn the fortune!
