"Several weeks ago, we had an election theme night. Here at the club. Perhaps you had seen the advertisements." He pauses for a moment, steepling his fingers on the desk before him. "Different dancers represented different nominees for positions. Cherry was our Millicent. She is... Not unlike the Duchess in height and build, but she is blonde." Obviously there were wigs and costumes involved.
He looks back at Natasha, the expression on his face unreadable, for he does not want her to recognize his guilt. "I have been demoted to the title of Baron for the time being as penance for my choices. I thought that such was my punishment for the choice. But now that Cherry has gone missing..." He shakes his head slightly. "I do not think that Mllicent herself has done this. But it does not take a mastermind to connect the dots. Someone has done this on her account."
