‘We’re going to a monastery?’ Essie looked to Raven for confirmation.
‘My purpose for coming here was to see Freddie. I want to make certain that he’s being treated well and that he has everything he needs.’ Raven downed the last of his drink and stood up. ‘I’m going to have a word with Alice. We’ll be leaving early in the morning, but she can remain here if she doesn’t feel like travelling on.’
‘What happens then?’ Essie asked anxiously. ‘Will we return to England?’
‘That’s a decision my cousin has to make.’ Raven headed for the stairs, taking them two at a time.
Essie turned to Falco. ‘What does he mean by that?’
‘Don’t ask me, I am merely the captain of the ship. Raven hired my vessel to take him to London and back to Australia, with a stop here in my native Puglia.’
Essie stared at him nonplussed. ‘But Lady Alice lives in England. We have to return home.’
‘That is for Lady Alice to decide.’
Essie leaned across the table. ‘Are you telling me that we will be taken to Australia, whether we like it or not?’
Captain Falco shrugged, holding his hands palms facing upwards. ‘Who knows?’
