What it sounds like
There is no gin at the party, but she can smell it on him.
What it really means
“You have clearly been drinking, and your lateness and rumpled appearance make your behavior impossible to excuse.”
Said today
“We’re not serving gin, so why do you reek of it?”
What was happening
Benedict arrives two hours late and rumpled after being expected to chaperone Eloise. Violet calls out the smell of gin in front of him, puncturing his breezy claim that nothing has changed.
