"And the Lady Catherine?" I asked. He paused as if confused, "At the whipping sir." Then to Allerton," I directed, and Barrington obeyed instantly cra...king the whip and forth we lunged with flying hooves and myself desperate to retain possession of my ridiculously tall hat.."I could get a taste for this John!" he turned and grinned at me and in that moment we shaved a gatepost by a whisker, "better than mining," he commented."Hah, not as lucrative," I laughed, "And not as safe with your. Last night, should I say, was ‘energetic’. Ever since Alan’s come back into our lives, our sex life has been… suffice it to say, that it was late before we went to sleep.I know I should wake him up and tell him that we need to just turn around and go home once we get there.
