  _The Bastion Club Montrose Place, London March 15, 1816_
  
  
  Weve a month before the Season begins, and already the harpies are hunting
  
  
  in packs. Charles St. Austell sank into one of the eight straight-backed
  chairs
  
  
  around the mahogany table in the Bastion Clubs meeting room.
  
  
  As we predicted. Anthony Blake, sixth Viscount Torrington, took the chair
  
  
  opposite. The action in the marriage mart seems close to frenetic.
  
  
  Have you seen much of it, then? Deverell sat beside Charles. I have to
  
  
  admit Im biding my time, lying low until the Season begins.
  
  
  Tony grimaced. My mother might be resident in Devon, but she has a worthy
  
  
  lieutenant in my godmother, Lady Amery. If I dont appear at her

  inquiring
