“Perhaps it’s my jealousy showing. Liaison to the Hamilton family, that’s quite an appointment. Congratulations, Sir. I must say, I thought myself quite qualified, but then I suppose perhaps for this particular assignment, you were the better man. Of course, I can understand how it would be of such importance to you. Someone of your station son of a carpenter’s mate given a chance to socialize with a lord. Hold that position for long enough and you might convince everyone you’re something more than you actually are. A gentleman, most civilized. I imagine there is no end to the benefits Thomas Hamilton’s favor could bestow upon you. Future employment, status hell, I understand if he likes you well enough, he may even let you fuck his wife.”
