Abe smiled. “Well, one can never really know another person, can one?”
William feigned looking shocked. “I am just beginning to know you, brother. You reveal your true colors.”
Both men laughed.
“In all honesty, I have been planning the trip for some time now, but never chartered the ship until this happened. When I had a moment of time yesterday, I sent James to make the arrangements, giving him a detailed list to help him.”
“When do you leave on this adventure?”
“In ten days, barring any unforeseen circumstances. I am looking forward to it.”
“Will there be other passengers on this trip or are you traveling on a Navy boat?”
William and Abe both laughed, but Abe answered. “Somehow I do not see him on a Navy ship crossing the ocean. They are targets to our enemies and William is not going to die just to travel.”
“You are right, my brother, though I did enjoy my time in the King’s Army when I was there.”
“You were right to leave that life behind, Will. It’s not for you.”
“Neither was the life I was leading. I feel a tremendous pressure has been lifted from my shoulders. I am ready to start a new chapter in my life.”
“Your book is long from over,” Abe agreed. “I liked Liza, loved her as my sister-in-law. But it was not good for you to be married to her. It’s only too bad she died before she could find true happiness.”
Nigel sat back as the server brought out plates of food and set them on the table in front of the men. “I must say though, she seemed perfectly happy just being William’s wife. What seemed bland and lifeless to us may have been bliss to her.”
“Are you saying life with me is bland?” William asked.
Nigel laughed. “For me, it would be, my friend. I promise you that.”
William nodded, picking up a fork to stab into the large roast that was sitting before him. “I will give you that, Nigel. You are right. When it comes to Liza, you are probably right about that as well. She did seem content, as I had mentioned. It was the life she wanted.” He shrugged. “It just wasn’t the life I wanted.”
“We could tell that just from observing, Will. I hope that you will be safe on your journey. What will you do once you get there?”
“I plan to relax and see what America is all about first,” Will answered. “Then I will contact these businessmen that Nigel will supply me with and see what deals can be made.”
“That is a sound and logical plan, Will. I am impressed.” Nigel looked impressed. It made William smile.
“If you will excuse me, I must leave you for a moment. I will return.” William stood and moved through the people milling about the club, leaving his brother and Nigel to watch as he left.
“Abraham, your brother seems someone completely different than himself, though he is taking Liza’s death as expected.”
“I agree. I wonder, will he return to being a scoundrel or will he grow into a man once and for all?”
“He has a wayward, adventurous spirit. I do hope and pray, however, that he is able to keep his head on his shoulders and not cause any further threats to your family name.”
“I agree, Nigel.” Abe nodded. “I agree.”
