Re: Cassius Corbet and Lucien Swinton
Lucien dipped his head in acknowledgement, and the two shifted places smoothly.
"I would be quite gratified," he said. "Marguerite is the light of my life, and my partner in all things, and her having the benefit of your greater acquaintance would do us both a service."
"And I would say I took the biggest portion, when it came to fortune," he added. "I'll certainly freely admit to being the lucky one in our match, through and through."
It was a little pointed, but he said it graciously enough.
