comprehend your lack of a husband. They are probably scared that you will cut them with your sharp tongue.” Chester rolled his eyes, glancing at the ormolu clock on the mantel. “Are Parker and Peyton not joining us this afternoon?”
    “ How humorous you find yourself.” Piper drawled. “They have been holed up in Parker’s study all morning,” Piper replied with a shrug. “I have no idea what their plans are for the rest of the afternoon.”
    “ I have heard Peyton’s being watched like a hawk. Parker’s not very pleased with the appalling rumors traveling from Kent.”
    That brought Piper’s head up. “Chester,” she hissed with a quick glance towards Miss Harris and Auntie Adele.
    “ What?” he whispered back with mock innocence.

    Meanwhile in the study, Parker, the Marquis of Ashford sighed and ran his fingers through his dark curls, disturbing them considerably. “Just what are you trying to accomplish with these games you are playing?” Well over six foot, dark wavy brown hair, and the same piercing blue eyes as the rest of the Peregrine siblings. Handsome and with the death of his father almost four years ago, the title Marquis of Ashford, he was a considerable prize to be won. “Is this all an attempt to deliberately irritate me?”
    Peyton squirmed under Parker’s all-too-perceptive gaze, hastily looking away to stare intently at the paneled wooden walls. “You act as if I require your sanctions before I even step foot out of the house.”
    “ Audley Ballantine has obviously become a corrupt influence on you, judging by this so-called club you are both determined to sponsor.” His features lined with disappointment. “You do not require my permission to live your life, Peyton.” Parker clenched his hand firmly around his tumbler. “But must you be so blatant with your pursuits?”
    “ It’s all purely for our own amusements, Parker,” Peyton said with a touch of defiance, gesturing with his hand. “Besides, it’s not as if we are deliberately airing our wicked pursuits to the whole of the ton .” He took a seemingly casual draw on his cigarillo. “I’m of age, Parker. You have no right to put restrictions on what I do with my life.” Peyton was the second son, excessively wealthy and extremely spoiled. Five years older than the twins, he had the same golden blond hair as his mother and Poppy, the youngest of the twins. He was also rich in his own right. He had inherited a substantial fortune from their grandfather as well as his own country estate in Kent. This was the same location where the rumored lavish, if not lascivious house parties were being hosted throughout the year. These were the same rumored parties that were beginning to be of great concern for the marquis.
    “ I realize you are of age and I also realize you have your own funds to do with as you will.” His bright blue eyes travelled across the desk to where his brother was slouching. Resting his chin on his steepled fingers, Parker continued gravely. “But you are presently displaying a shocking disregard for the damage these salacious tales can have on those closest to you—namely your sister.”
    Peyton blanched at his brother’s disapproval. “There is no occasion for you to speak so roughly, dear brother,” he replied stiffly, directing a brooding stare towards Parker with his arms spread wide. “Can you not be prevailed upon to have a little fun every once in a while? You act as if you are in your dotage.”
    “ I am perfectly capable of finding amusements, my dear brother, when I deem them necessary.” The corners of his mouth lifted. “But my amusements are not what are in question,” Parker reiterated. He would be the first to admit that he didn’t value moral qualities as he should. If it hadn’t been for the death of his father, he would more than likely be lying in a warm bed with a different willing woman every night of
