Deadly Plot

The pride and hubris with which Miss Linda had made her comment regarding Alexander and Cambyses was overwhelming, threatening to almost overflow to the surroundings.

While listening to this, her partner, Lord Parker pursed his lip.

Although he usually loved the inherent haughtiness of his wife, he also felt that sometimes she tended to go a bit too far with it.

So he lightly chided her, "Not all Adhanians do this. Especially not with some of their more special wives. You should have been tactful. Now due to your hasty words, we have lost a valuable ally. What do you have to say for yourself?" 

"I'm sorry." And knowing when to advance and when to retreat, Miss Linda determined now was not the time to be defiant.
