In Rooms Owned and Let
It is, Henrik realizes swiftly, nearly impossible to prepare for both a few hours' work at the Labyrinth of Tigers and for a party. Particularly for a party hosted by the woman whose nose he had bloodied. Ought he to bring her a gift? Ought he to wear the tailcoat, or will the overcoat do? If the tailcoat, could he leave it in any place in the Labyrinth without fearing it would be stolen?
At last, Henrik buttons his shirt over his newly-acquired athletic support vest. He's making the business far too d----d complicated; he can pick up a set of sapphires for Eris at the Labyrinth's shops, and surely that will be more than sufficient.
