I was able to catch a glimpse of Lady Chadwick just as she was preparing to descend the stairs and was poised with her left hand resting elegantly on the balustrade.

"Eminent"

Lady Chadwick is an eminent noblewoman. To be invited to her soiree was the chance of a lifetime. And that reprobate in me ruined it!

"Guerdon"

The man was offended that his guerdon was not what he expected. Yes, he did help the police catch the criminal, but he didn't realize that the reward offer was voided to criminals who turned themselves in.
