It wasn't something talked about. Not even whispered about.

"I think the only person in the British Royal Navy who doesn't know is my father. David has rarely met a man in uniform he doesn't like." And it's said with full understanding how that could be taken; it's meant to be taken in such a way. "But he's an admiral's son, and he's made friends with very powerful men in the navy. So who is there to accuse him, lest they find themselves responsible for a long list of accused."

She took a sip of her tea. "Edward? I admit, I didn't guess at him. Most of that sort take up with David, and I know what that looks like. He hadn't, so, I suppose, I gave it no further thought. Foolish as that was."
