"Language," he chided, as if he was in any position to be washing anyone's mouth out with soap. "I do not think that a girl dressed such as yourself should speak so ill of something you so clearly need."
Not that he was dressed so well himself, lately. His suits and his top hats all neglected, in various states of disrepair. But even rumpled as he was, his trousers were tailor-made to fit him perfectly, his shirt hand-stitched with ebony buttons and embroidered in white thread around the hems. He held the book aloft again, leapt backward with the grace and strength that sky blue eyes signified.
The landing was less graceful then he would have liked, since his bad leg nearly gave out underneath him, only barely saved by his cane from an embarrassing collapse. His lip curled in a brief snarl before he recovered himself, standing straight again, face placid except for furious irritation in his eyes. Her book was still unharmed, though he considered letting it suffer for her indiscretion.
"Fifty thousand," he said. "If you can convince me that you will not simply spend it all on pig's ears and ham bones, then I will give you fifty thousand for it. I will not offer twice."
