Reckless

Out of the office and out on the river, Jack, the staid solicitor, did not stay staid. Rather he became rather reckless, uncharacteristic one might think for a solicitor.

Sarah later accused Jack of showing off in front of Juliette, an accusation he had strenuously denied, but he couldn’t deny to himself as he was acutely aware of the stigma, socially speaking, of his profession. He stood as close to the edge of the punt when on quanting duty and had a devil may care attitude when not, rocking the punt side to side especially when Mark was in charge.
