Lord George Paget (I know he's real, but still, he's a key character in my story, so...)
Well now, I suppose that the only reasonable course of action for a gentleman of my calibre would be to protect them all, and then, when I was assured that they were more than safe, I would track down each and every one of those murderous scoundrels and... remove them. I shan't detail the revenge I would exact, lest a frail and tender female should happen upon these writings and be overcome, but rest assured, my friend, that my vengeance would be indeed a terrible thing to behold. I have seen horrors that to you, would be beyond imagining for their real and sickening nature, so I have more than a small repertoire of punishments for those who could commit such crimes in cold blood, unprovoked, and to innocents...! The very thought makes me shudder, try though I might to suppress the memories.
But to continue this otherwise charming thread; What would you do if face with saving the lives of a score of strangers, or the life of your truest love? While cliched, I admonish any who claim its age to make this soul-tearing problem a simple, foregone conclusion!
