Not here too. My goodness, why couldn't an invite for a meal be just that with the chance of a bit of fun with an innocent maid. Why did he always have to deal with trouble.<br/><br/>He raised an eyebrow at her suggestion that a maid could help him with his sack (of clothes) and then in an instant his expression turn from that to a smile. “Thank you for the warning good woman and be sure to introduce me to the maid that will assist me with the master and myself in regard to sleeping arrangements as I very much look forward to her company.”<br/><br/>Feeling a little naughty in general with the possibility of danger in the air, Cooper asked. “Might I suggest that I choose which maid, in order to save you the trouble?”<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd468/sybakrys/Tyler/dorian-gray2.jpg)</div><strong>Tyler eats and talks of beasts and thighs</strong><br/><br/>Seeing the shock and fluster in the faces of the other guests just amused Tyler and to be honest encouraged him. The worse thing that could happen here, he thought, is that he would be asked to leave and that was not a bad thing given that the good Lady Rowena was absent. So he continued on this game for now as by the look of things Charlotte was giving him enough fuel to feed the fire. Ride indeed and a stallion indeed, he thought with a smile.<br/><br/>He then glanced around the table at the ladies present and responded to Charlotte. He chuckled with her before replying. “Cooper I think will be indisposed shortly if I know my man correctly. So come on ladies who would like to reload my gun for me? I promise it will be completely painless and who knows you might enjoy it too.” While he waited for a volunteer not really caring if any of them would, he returned his full attention to Charlotte. “As for riding you can count me. Being an expert rider myself I can guarantee that there is nothing more liberating that having one of those beasts between your legs. The sheer power and strength that they exude reminds one of how weak we humans really arm.” He glanced around the room at all as he spoke of the mighty horse and took in all the reactions. Both at his suggestion of how weak people are in general and of course the  innuendo itself. He would deal with whatever remark came back at him in his usual dismissive or jovial manner.<br/><br/>Seeing that his food was getting cold he began to eat, drink and be merry in no time. What an interesting mix of society, he thought as his eyes from time to time glanced around. Apart from the ones he had already spoken too, some he could see were heavily made up in a failed attempt to look ten years younger. All he could think about was if your teeth say fifty and your face says forty then fifty you are. Not to mention the hands. Some were so dry and wrinkly that he could only imagine how old they really were.<br/><br/>Seeing that Charlotte was showing an interest in the host, he then turned to Malsika and Robert. Neither had really gotten involved in much or any conversation. Was it because people were ignoring them or indeed that they did not wish to be involved in conversation. Well Tyler could not have reports getting back to his father of such rudeness towards the hosts so he addressed them both. “Tell me, how did you both come across such a fine house as this. I have not seen such finery in England before.”
