Re: Edmund Hewlett & Phryne Fisher
"Really!" Edmund looked pleased. What luck, to meet someone from such a far off and exotic place. But what she said next puzzled him. "The... bad guys?" What exactly did she mean?
"Oh! Yes, well. I was posted there to help put down the rebellion..." He gave her a tired little smile. He wasn't distraught about it, but it did hurt. He'd believed in his king, and his country, and to know how many people had died for a war they were to lose was... Well. "And then I arrived here to find out that we apparently did not succeed."
