The earl accepts, and begins his evening ritual, first stripping to his long underwear, then donning a regimental uniform jacket and a white ballet skirt, and finally stringing himself up for a harmless little swing. The earl, however, mucks up on this particular occasion, and Tucker discovers him dangling from the proper silk rope, neck twisted like a child...
