Sebastian
Dorset, 1823
“My Lord? You wish to stop here? We are so near to your home now.”
“Indeed, but if I turn up empty handed, I will never hear the end
of it, I’m sure.” Sebastian laughed as he reached for the carriage
door and called out of the window to his valet, who sat up beside the driver
of the carriage. Sticking his head beyond the window, he felt the bristle of
the wind tangling his cinnamon-colored hair.

When he saw Wareham town ahead, he smiled. The road to the town
was surrounded in red tulips and yellow daffodils, that had raised their
heads above the grass verges to greet the spring day. The town road was
busy with people hurrying to the market.
“Stop at the market!” Sebastian called to be heard, never once putting
his head back through the window.
It was exhilarating to be back here again after so long away. University
had been an adventure, but there was nothing quite like Wareham and the
countryside of Dorset. Oxford was beautiful, that couldn’t be doubted, yet
this place had something Oxford could never merit.
It is home.
Sebastian smiled at the thought as the carriage pulled to a stop in the
cobbled street by the market. He leapt from the door as his valet stepped
down from the front of the carriage. Marty was so concerned about
climbing down from such a height that he plainly didn’t look where he was
putting his feet properly and tripped, his whole body leaping off the side of
the carriage.
“Woah!” Sebastian stepped forward and caught his friend in time.
“Careful, Marty.”
“Thank you, my Lord.” Marty straightened himself and adjusted his
tailcoat. “I seem to be getting worse.”
“Truly? I hadn’t noticed.” Sebastian clapped him on the back with good
humor. “I’ll be back shortly. Have no fear, we will be home soon.” He
walked off, stretching his tall frame with ease through the cobbled road as
he headed to the stalls nearby.
Marty had been his valet ever since he went to university and was
proving himself something of a clumsy fellow over the last few years.
Sebastian hardly minded. Marty was his friend as well as his valet, and
there was no man with a better heart than him.
As Sebastian stepped between the stalls, searching for a gift to bring his
mother and cousin now he had returned home, he noted Marty followed
behind him.
“You fancied a walk, Marty?”
“Eager to see Wareham again.”
“I know what you mean.” Sebastian tipped his chin up and admired the
town square, with the church spire beyond and the yellow-stone priory on
the corner. It was a beautiful place, one that always managed to warm his
heart, even if there was something praying on his mind. “You can see
standing here, looking at this town now, why I’m so reluctant to do… well,
what we discussed last night,” he whispered, lowering his voice to make
sure only Marty was the one who heard him as people passed them in the
market.
