Welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday! I want to thank everyone for their great support each week. I do appreciate it and look forward to your comments with anticipation.
Once again I’m following up my six from last week with the next sentences from Only Scandal Will Do.
In this scene from Scandal, Duncan has just purchased a woman in a brothel auction and has come to claim his prize. His “slave” however, continues to insist there has been a mistake.
She jerked her head away. “You may have paid for a slave, sir, but what you find in this room is a lady in distress. Will you prove a gentleman or a cad?”
“A lady in distress?” He laughed and straightened. “How did a lady come to find herself on display at an auction, scandalously clad in a transparent Greek costume, in Madame Vestry’s House of Pleasure?”
Of course, he thinks he has a valid point. LOL

I think he’ll give her time to explain, but will he believe her? 😉 Oh, and even gentlemen can be cads, poor dear.

Aren’t we all just ladies in distress?

He’s asked, and I’m sure she’ll be willing to explain — his mistake! Wonderful tension.

Oh I’m sure he does think he has a valid point….most men do. But I can see his logic…how DID she end up on the auction block? At the hands of some sinister villain perhaps? Great six 🙂
