Sir Bernard Woodward went on, "We both have plenty of contacts around here, and we can make sure that word gets out that a new land owner is out and about, and that his girlfriend fancies herself quite the fighter. I can guarantee Lady Lydia will bite at that offer, and come looking for you to fight your lady. To avenge my wife Deidre's loss to Lydia, I add another 50 guineas to Sir Ralph's. If your lady wins, you shall leave here with a total 100 guineas richer." |
