Henry smiled and shrugged; he really hated being known as 'Seth Wadcock's brother' and no matter how many good deals he struck for his clients, that's how the papers referred to him, if he was actually mentioned at all.
"That's what they say!" he let out a laugh as if it was quite a nice remark. "And Seth's managed to straighten out his life quite a bit since his wild days--" Henry put a hand up to his mouth, as if sharing a secret, "--a lot of people don't know it, but he was really depressed about his divorce, caused a lot of stress."
Which was a lie, a big, bold-faced lie. If Seth had been more upset about his failed marriage, then maybe the trouble he'd gotten into would not have occurred, so it was at least a good enough cover up for those crazy days his brother had for nearly a year.
Henry eyed the floo ports, an eyebrow going high, "Flooing? It's not so bad after the first few times. If you've got far to go, it's better to make a stop or two before you get home. I've got to get to London, so I usually stop in Liverpool before I get back in. Where are you heading?"
