After both Alexander and Everard entered the guest chamber, Alexander quickly headed for the bathroom to check if the bath was indeed ready or not. He noticed that the tub was full, but still went ahead to dip his finger to check the temperature of the water.
He turned to look at Everard, who was already taking off his dusty clothes and asked, “The water isn’t very warm. Shall I ask the maids to add more hot water?”
Everard dropped all of his clothes on the floor and answered as he also entered the bathroom, “No, it’s alright. I can’t wait to bathe anymore.”
And without waiting for Alexander to move aside, he stepped into the tub, splashing water all over Alexander’s trousers and shoes.
“You arse!” Alexander shouted and immediately splashed some water right on Everard’s face.
