"Rumor has it I've done quite a few things." Adam rolled his eyes.
"Fought a duel on the floor of the House of Lords, for example," Harry said.
"Ridiculous."
"Shot the pistol out of a man's hands in a duel without so much as winging him," Harry continued.
Adam nodded. "Twice."
"Bested Gentleman Jackson."
Adam smiled at the memory. That has been extremely gratifying.
"Bloodied Poisenby's nose at a ball." Harry was smiling. He'd been there for that now-famous occurence.
"Broke his nose." Adam amended.
"Walked out of Lords in the middle of a speech by Addington."
"The man was being obtuse," Adam said.
"He was the prime minister," Harry pointed out.
Adam just shrugged.”
