Now what I want to know is what happened when you found Bryony, Leo,” said Will.
“Did you just say your sister sent me, pack up everything and come with me this moment?”
“More or less.”
“And she came away with you?”
“More or less.” Leo tossed Bryony a mischievous look. “Although there might have been
laudanum, drugging, and a midnight abduction involved.”
“Now that’s a much better story,” said Matthew. “I would pay to read that one.”
“And for his knavery, Leo lost one of his—more important parts,” said Bryony.
“No!” Matthew and Will shouted in unison.
“Bryony!” Callista squeaked.
“Kidney,” Leo cried. “It was just a kidney. A man can live a perfectly vigorous life with
one kidney.”
“You can call it a kidney if you want,” said Bryony.
