Richard's remark about the search party earned him a look of open undisguised horror from Camilla. Rallying, she quickly temporised, "Well, it's not just that, you've also got the most terrible sunburn, François. Really it looks like the most painful thing. You must be suffering dreadfully."
Sometimes, Camilla speculated, Richard seemed like some kind of inverse version of Bunny. Whereas Bunny had often managed to be thoroughly reprehensible yet weirdly likeable, Richard managed to put his foot in his mouth without even trying.
Magnanimously she offered him a cigarette. It was, of course, a Lucky Strike. She didn't even think about the possible psychological ramifications of that for him.
"You ought to come to our tent," she told Francis. "Richard and Henry and I have been playing house in it, you could say. Haven't we? It's like a wretched little one-bedroom apartment in the middle of a gulag. But we do have some good liquor."
