Ah - my mistake. You are naturally correct: we did cross paths at that deplorable party.
He isn't contagious. His rash is an adverse reaction - as one might have to a bee's sting, or to poison ivy. Perhaps you ought to have a word with your family's physician, for failing to make such a simple determination. So simple that a foolish, stupid woman could look for only a moment and diagnose it.
And such an inexpensive remedy! Treat it with honey for a week and it vanishes.
What sort of doctor takes your coin for thirty years without delivering the most basic of care? He must have been convincing, indeed, to perpetrate such a scheme for so long.
For surely, you and your brothers are not so ignorant as to throw good money after bad. Astute as you are, you would have seen through all but the most dedicated ruse. (Well, Treavor excepted: in the worst throes of illness, he can hardly be expected to negotiate the finer points of his own care, or do more than trust what he is told by those who look after him. So it goes with us all when we ail.)
Disgraceful.
- I assure you, Lord Pendleton, you have not heard half the secrets of my heart.
