Plot.

Kelton Wright has debts to pay. Unfortunately, they aren't his own, and money isn't the issue. The Marquis of Laughton won his bet with Kelton's lover and whether Kelton agreed to it or not isn't his concern.

Besides... the Marquis arranged for Kelton's outfit for the evening. If Kelton doesn't want to return the clothing and jewelry before he finds a way home, he needs to make good on his lover's promise.
