Chapter 17: The Gala
The Saxon gala filled the ballroom of the Alder Street Hotel, the one with the spiral stair.
I had never seen it full.
Four hundred guests in black tie stood under the chandeliers, and every one of them had heard something by Saturday.
Max stood at my elbow in a tuxedo that finally fit his shoulders.
"Smile, fiancee," he said. "The chairman's here, and he brought a plate for the show."
I wore a black dress with a high neck and no jewelry at all.
At eight, the room went quiet for the entrance of the woman everyone had come to see.
Victoria walked in alone in white satin, with her hair loose and a gold cuff on her wrist.
She did not hurry.
She went from table to table, bending to kiss a cheek and touching a shoulder.
She spoke to each guest in the warm low voice that sounded like help.
"A misunderstanding at the Thorpe site," I heard her say. "My poor brother. He's in such a state."
