  • Wycliffe
  • storms
  • the
  • hallowed

  • of
  • a
  • private
  • men's
  • club
  • seeking
  • the
  • counsel
  • of
  • up-and-coming
  • barrister,

  • Caruthers.

  • for

  • a

  • believes
  • his
  • lordship
  • is
  • head
  • of
  • a
  • criminal
  • conspiracy.
  • Edmund
  • is
  • completely
  • flummoxed
  • as

  • would
  • jeopardize
  • her

  • annuity
  • by
  • accusing
  • his
  • lordship
  • of
  • a
  • crime. As
  • their
  • mutual
  • attraction
  • grows
  • stronger,

  • and
  • Edmund
  • are
  • aware
  • more
  • than
  • her
