SPLIT THE PARTY #2: Soult, Caroline, and Lameth
((Reference the Master List of Previous Posts here.))
Duroc takes off running, and his little helper follows. The hall of mirrors, with its chandeliers and candelabrum, is gloomy without their combined glow, but still not as dark as to where they are running to. You watch them ascend the flight of stairs at the end of the corridor. Rude.
This leaves behind Soult, (presumably) Caroline, and ADC Lameth. Whom Caroline's husband once fired from his job for making a questionable observation about her.
Just when Duroc's glow disappears upstairs on the grand staircase, there is a noise on the main entrance level where Soult and Co. have been left. It's unlike the earlier growling. More like ... the sound of breaking glass and someone cursing. It may be coming from the main auditorium. Maybe.
