Henry had come to see the show, because it was popular, and that is what the young Lord Constantine should do. He was shocked to recognise his childhood friend in the cast, and made his way backstage after the show. It wasn't that surpriseing- Gentlemen often did, and in fact for some of the actresses, it was counted upon, but his goal- me- was unusual.

Well, perhaps not as unusual as you'd think, but he was rather more straightforward about it than most men.

I think I might have been more surprised to see him than he had been to see me. Since I had never heard from him after being bundled off to London, I rather assumed that he wanted nothing more to do with me.

It turned out that no one had told him where I had gotten to. He was in fact overjoyed to find me again; I was overjoyed to see him again as well.
It was even worth the snide comments that they chorus girls shot me before I explained that I had grown up with him. The last of them went away when I introduced Henry to some of the nicer actresses.

But Henry was still willing to be my freind, even if I was no longer respectable, and now had no chance of attending Oxford with him.
He jokingly told me that knowing an actor would enhance his reputation, which as fasr as I could tell, it did.
