And another snippet
Griffin awoke sometime after midnight in a foul temper, but Denny and Saunders did manage to persuade him to get in the bath. However, first he sent men ashore to retrieve the rest of his crew and deliver a message to Jago Stockley. He also sent for Kit, a peremptory invitation in the grand manner.
“Mr Penrose is requested to attend upon Captain Griffin in the great cabin at his earliest convenience,” was an order worthy of the Admiral of the Blue, so Kit hurried to comply, glad that he had used some of the time in port to neaten himself up. If Griffin was going to be washed and brushed up and in clean fresh clothes, Kit felt he needed to be as tidy as possible.
Denny opened the cabin door when he knocked and grinned at him. His face was clean too, likewise his shirt. It made a considerable improvement.
“Mr Penrose, sir,” he said over his shoulder, then stepped aside.
Kit’s heart sank. Even before he stepped into the room he had heard the liquid slop of the bath water, so once he was inside he kept to attention and kept his eyes on his own reflection in the cabin windows.
“Sir?” he said.
“Ah Kit,” Captain Griffin said. “Formal as ever. Sit down, boy, do.”
The only chair had been placed by the door so Kit parted his coat tails to prevent creasing and settled there with his hands on his knees. This placed him squarely in front of Griffin who looked at him with a grin and sipped his brandy.
Griffin’s hair was darkened with damp and clinging to his forehead and shoulders, and those parts of him that weren’t sunbrowned were now a clean and healthy pink from the heat of the water. He had propped his arms on the edge of the tub, and his legs, too long for the cramped space, were resting with his knees over the other edge, feet dripping. His eyes were clear now, if a little red-rimmed, and bright with wicked humour.
“Thank you for arranging for my bath,” Griffin said. “Denny, get Mr Penrose a drink. He looks like he needs one.”
Nano might be done but the story i nowhere near finished. Wish me luck with the rest of it?
