History

1811

Week of 6 May

On Tuesday Will attends the theatre and glimpses [[Katharine Steele|Kate Steele] who is being chatted up by Nathaniel Scarborough. [1]. Wednesday finds him at Almacks with his brother. He stands up with Miss Lazenby. They trade barbs. [2]. He also, perversely, snatches Annabelle Beacham away from his brother for a set [3]. The next day, William is chuffed to receive a note from Kate Steele inviting him to join her for a game of backgammon. [4]. Naturally, he answers her summons. They finally 'play backgammon' (spawning a treasured euphamism on the board.)[5]
