Re: Bertram Eden and Gabriel
"I decided the late Mr Brummell needed a proper homage," Gabriel replied with a flourish and a grin.
He was a little disconcerted that it had been a personal invitation rather than simply one extended to the Edens -- he tried not to read too much into Biddie's attentions, but he had yet to corner her and truly ascertain what she wanted from his lover, and until he did, he looked at her continued contact with no small degree of trepidation.
Regardless, Bertie was here, and looked happy enough. "I will say, your more classic interpretation suits you quite well," he replied, "as does the subject. The lyre in particular is quite well done."
