You could clearly see in Tyler’s face that he was extremely grateful of Lady Charlotte’s warm introductions. He kissed her gloved hand and began to relax considerably. By doing so he promptly forgot about the dark man who was probably still staring at him.<em>Evil Darkie</em>, Tyler thought,<em>Good for one thing only and that was working for Queen and country</em>. He politely welcomed the introductions and happily, with everyone’s attention, proceeded to answer Charlotte’s enquiry. “Exciting, London, not especially, however, tonight promises to be most intriguing. A Mummy above us and a chance to get out of the house to socialize with such a variety of fascinating individuals. It makes me almost forget my injury which is one of the reasons I can not be on the frontline, so to speak. The things I have seen would turn the best wine to vinegar, I can assure you of that.” Visions of his missing wife flashed before his eyes, which gave him a blank expression for a moment. He quickly composed himself and hoped that his ‘moment’ would be mistaken for a memory of his time at war and not his wife’s ‘disappearance’. He smiled at Charlotte and continued “Where was I? Oh yes the war.” He raised his voice with excitement and so that the dark man could overhear. “Savages the lot of them. It takes a good firm British hand to keep them in check I can tell you.” He laughed as he felt quite secure around Lady Charlotte. He was not sure why but for some reason he could relax around her.
