Sir Charles Warren disembarked from his ship at the harbour at Manhattan, prepared to reclaim the estate seized from him by the Commonwealth of New York during the recently successful American Revolution. Naturally, he didn't see it as much more than a lawless rebellion and a land grab, but it was now legal, for better or worse. Mother England had let her defiant daughter loose, but one of the conditions was that the property belonging to British subjects like Warren that was seized was to be restored or compensated. The Treaty of Paris was quite explicit on that matter.
Even so, Sir Charles had to wonder at his actual odds of recovering the estate, though he would certainly do his best to recover his patrimony. It was his, and its restoration would greatly improve his finances, which while far from desperate or embarrassing, could always use some augmentation. He also hoped to dally with a Yank woman or two of looser morals. Why not, since they were no longer enemies? It was best to labour toward peace and prosperity, was it not? What better way to improve the standing of His Majesty and the British Empire than to personally gain the eye of a Yank dame or two?
