. Please do. I don t think he likes me very much, and so I felt like he waspunishing me. Why don t you think he likes you?Ellis shook his head.In his experience, slaves just didn t likeeach other.They fought for favour with the master and for rankamong one another.It was nothing new; expected, even. Would it make you feel better if you knew Alex waspunishing him for his treatment of you?Ellis almost burst out his true reaction: No, because now he willhave all the more reason to resent me, and he will turn Harte, andthen you, against me.Instead, he simply said, I do not relish thepunishment of any slave, but if it pleases his master, I am glad forthat. I see, William said, but he looked intently at Ellis as thoughhe knew very well the thoughts that ran through his mind.Silence stretched as William seemed to be trying to outwait thetruth, but Ellis was determined not to say anything bad against theother slave.It wasn t his place. Well, Harte won t be visiting with you tonight, William saida few moments later. He will be joining Alex, Alastair, andmyself.You may sleep in tomorrow as we re sure to have a latenight.William didn t so much as kiss Ellis on the forehead, makinghim realise just how spoilt he d become in such a short amount oftime.The sound of the door closing coincided with Ellis s haltinginhalation.He didn t like Alastair; so why did he want to beexactly where he was, where Harte was&He d done something wrong, that much was clear.But how tofix it?The tears on his cheeks were almost unfamiliar in their rarity asEllis thought about what he was missing.The master had said he dbeen pleasing.What had he done?CHAPTER 4FIRST TIMES AND WORSE TIMESThe next day, Ellis was the first person up.He silently helpedNell with breakfast, not knowing what else to do with himself.When the table was set and the food prepared, Nell asked him towake the master up, but Ellis couldn t do it.He just couldn t seethem all together, happily entangled and not missing him for amoment, though why they would, he had no idea.He begged off and said the master had given him otherinstructions.Nell almost certainly knew he was lying, but shedidn t call him back, yelling for Janine instead.He went to the hallway bathroom to make it look like he wasoff doing a chore, and, once sequestered, splashed cold water onhis face to cool it.Voices broke through the sound of the water, and Ellis turnedthe tap off to better hear.It was Harte and Alastair. & said he was looking for a master for him! Yeah, but not yours! And if you were worried, you shouldhave said something.You didn t have to hurt him! Oh, don t be so dramatic.I couldn t have hurt him, he s aslave. Shut up, Alastair! Slaves can be hurt, trust me, I know that!Alastair s voice was immediately contrite. I know, Harte.Ishouldn t have jumped to conclusions, okay? But I m notapologising! I just did what I was told. Just back off him, all right? We ll find the perfect master forhim, and that wouldn t be Master Alex.Ellis isn t even close to histype and you know that.You re stupidly jealous and you re lucky itdidn t get you into more trouble.If I think you re hurting Ellis inany way, you ll have me to deal with, and you know I have noproblem telling Master how I feel.And you know he listens.So at least Ellis wasn t the only one Harte ratted on, not that heheld it against the other slave.Harte didn t seem embarrassed bythis habit, and it was likely that the master encouraged it.Or atleast didn t discourage it, which seemed to be the same thing toHarte.Heavy feet walked away and a moment later, there was a knockon the bathroom door.He opened it quickly, lowering his eyes when he saw it wasHarte. Breakfast is ready! he announced cheerfully, giving noindication of a suspicion that Ellis had heard the conversation. And I talked to Alastair.He thought Master Alex wanted you.Stupid boy.Ellis could only smile gratefully.Harte had absolutely noconcept of secret.Maybe he wasn t really a rat maybe he justtold everyone everything. Does Master Alex want me? Ellis asked nervously.The othermaster was nice enough, but he very much did not want to goanywhere Alastair was. I don t think so.He s not interested in another slave. Hartetook Ellis s hand and began to walk him to the dining room [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
