Both Bunny and Raffles are fortunate that Raffles stayed Bunny's hand that fortuitous night. And a very fitting way for them to get back at their old card sharp.

Interesting bit of trivia: the character Tremayne was named after Peter Tremayne, author of The Return of Raffles (1981).

[constantmuse]

ooh, thanks for the trivia. I was so used to the Tremayne and Carruthers characters from the series that it came as quite a surprise to rediscover that the card sharps never actually appear in "The Ides of March".

Great! Love Raffles in protective mode and Bunny enjoying the virtuous revenge. Yum to the last lines . . .

[constantmuse]

Thanks. Raffles does sometimes use his burgling skills for good ends too.

Very sexy last lines; thank you for those.

Vengeful Raffles is terrific. Your story fits right along with his code of honor; he's very in character. And Bunny? Well, what does one do with Bunny except love him into oblivion?

[constantmuse]

oh thanks for saying such nice things! glad you enjoyed.

Well, what does one do with Bunny except love him into oblivion? hee - everyone needs a purpose in life!

Another great. story. :) I like how they get their revenge: it's delightfully subtle and definitely worthy of Raffles at his finest.

Also, I know others have already commented on it, but that's a wonderful last line. *fans self.*

Thanks!
It was going to be something cruder, but I wanted to keep up the lofty moral tone. ahem.
