Ah I see it now... "I wasn't stupid. I knew that the first step to gaining a lady's pemission to get into her bed was to get her drunk."

"When it came to writing to Arno I paused guiltily as I found my thoughts returning to my charming smuggler Byron Jackson."

I am not quire sure why Oliver Bowden had to subtlely arrange for such a random plot in the novel to show the growth of Elise as a character especially considering how she was only 20 at the time and most likely lost her virginity to someone who is not Arno.

Alas, not all love stories are perfect, and this one sadly ended with Elise's death... Again, totally unnecessary...
