It didn't take long for Miguel to get what he was looking for from Isabel. A quick chat, during which time Miguel grew certain she knew things about him that she wasn't admitting to, and he was soon the owner of a pint glass full of some sort of whiskey or scotch, and a small bottle of brandy as well, in case Mr Darcy needed it.
Then he went out of Isabel's kitchen, hopped up onto a table and sat there drinking from his pint glass (a couple of mouthfuls at first, just to really make sure the shakes and the nerves were gone, and then he was fine with sipping) until Ashley arrived.
