"Over my dead body!"

A thundering voice startled Ava from her thinking, and she turned to see Lord Carlton jumped from his seat. Magnus' face changed, and his watery eyes turned steely.

"That can be arranged."

He replied, undaunted and unabashed.

"You worthless, degenerate ..."

Lord Carlton stormed across the aisle and reached his son in a couple of strides. Magnus let his father spit in his face and slap him hard, but when the older man snatched his collar, he broke free and shoved him back.

"How dare you!"

The lord bristled. He looked shocked, not expecting his son would have dared to fight back. Growling, he hurled himself at his son. Soon both father and son got into a violent brawl.

"Stop it, stop it, oh..."

Lady Cecily sighed and collapsed in a heap on the floor.

"Cecily!"

Lord Carlton turned and rushed to his fainting wife.

"Cecily, open your eyes!"

"Get a doctor! Quick!"
