Andrew knew he would forget
something. He slapped his gloves against his thigh while grumbling all the way
back to Massachusetts Hall and up the two flights of stairs to his room. Supper
would be served soon and the others should be getting ready to go fetch it
before study time and evening prayers. He turned the door handle to the room he
shared with his chum, Joseph and found it locked.
Andrew frowned and reached
for his key. He stopped when he heard a
female voice, loud whispering and scrambling in the room on the other side of
the door. With a loud sigh Andrew jammed the key into the lock and unlocked the
door. Joseph sat up slowly in the bed and rubbed his eyes as if he had just
awoken. "Andy, I thought were going to Boston for the
weekend?"
Andrew burned him a look
before walking over to his wardrobe.
"I am, I forgot something."
He scowled at the look of growing alarm on his room mate's face.
"Oh, what a
shame." Joseph murmured just as Andrew swung the door open and found
unlaced stays and a sheer shift in his face.
His eyes traveled up until he found a round, plump face and brown eyes
staring at him. Andrew glared and reached for the small satchel hanging on a
peg behind her and slammed the door in her face.
Joseph winced at the loud
noise the wardrobe door made combined with the high pitched yelp that could be
heard coming from within.
"Right, I'll be home
Sunday after church." Andrew couldn't wait to get out of that room. He opened the door leading into the hall and
looked over his shoulder at Joseph. "Please remove the whore from my
wardrobe before I return."
"R-Right." Joseph murmured.
Andrew never heard him, he
slammed the door shut and took the stairs down two at a time.
