The three years he spent on his own were positively refreshing; there was no one to call out his name constantly, no one to make a ripple in the pool of silence he maintained around him. He was also free to revert to an old method of diversion - namely, visiting a pleasure house, spending two hours or three with the plumpest, most biddable women, and cracking a head or two on his way out, said heads usually belonging to the bodyguards of the house. Some of his friends, he knew, would approve of the method, either entirely or to some extent. Some would frown with disapproval; one in particular would talk his ears off and follow him, yelling, into the house. Relationships were such noisy business, and he probably should resent himself for thinking too much of those, but he was vaguely amused instead. No matter, of course - the more company he had for head-cracking and similarly health-boosting adventures, the merrier.
