Chance Saint Edwards, The Right Honorable Twelfth Earl of Tricastle, liked having people under his thumb. He liked when they owed him money. It made them more useful to him and he found even the most worthless of society could be of use to him. After all, they had ears and because they were considered so worthless, people often spoke unguardedly around them. Amongst the most worthless had to be Adrian Mitchell, and arrogant, overdressed little toad who could not even play a decent game of cards, but to his amazement, even the worthless Mr. Mitchell had suddenly become of value.
