At this point, who cared if he smelled like a winery? He fumbled around for his money pouch, and after a good long while of searching, he realized he didn’t have it on him. Arthur dined here often, and he could settle up tomorrow, but still, facing Will and explaining he had no money on his person was embarrassing.…
