HD - Chapter Eight - shipmates and other characters

[esteven]

It is true that Stephen, who had retained his sirocco headgear, did not look at all out of the way. He was, however, at once recognized by the unfortunate young man in the outer office, who begged him to sit down - he would tell Lady Clifford at once.

Does this not show that Stephen definitely threatened the young man with spleen removal? *g*

In other words, Mona, Kevin, Lady Clifford, Royal Marines, Reade or Mr Wright
