Summary
Kate leaves for India. Anthony follows, Colin in tow. It goes terribly wrong – and somehow also terribly right.
"Good God, are you duelling again?” asked Colin. “No, wait—" He shut the door. "What has Eloise done now?"
"It's Anthony," said Benedict gleefully. "He's going on a romantic quest across the seas in search of his viscountess!"
Colin’s face lit up. “Anthony, abroad? All in the name of duty, I suppose?”
Anthony rubbed his temple as Benedict poured for Colin.
“How marvellous. I quite approve,” Colin continued. “Did no English ladies meet your lofty standards, that you must search on foreign shores?”
“No, brother,” said Benedict. “He seeks a particular lady who set sail from London this morning—no doubt to get away from the esteemed viscount who nearly married her sister and almost ruined both our families.”
Anthony took a large sip of brandy as he watched Colin do the arithmetic in his head.
“Miss Sharma? She is returning to India?”
“Left this morning,” said Benedict.
“And I am going after her.” Anthony's empty hand touched his watch as he thought about all the time he couldn't waste. “There’s nothing else to be done.”

Summary
How did one speak to a husband? In much the same way as one spoke to any intimate, she supposed, at least at the start. Gentlemen could not be so very strange to speak to alone. She had never paid so much attention as Elinor to the cultivation of impeccable manners and the formulae of precisely what one must say in a situation. As such, freed from any restriction on that score and with no rubric to contain her, she said:
"May I call you Christopher, when we are alone?"
Marianne finds that her feelings are enough, if she trusts them, to guide her through the unknown and unknowable.

Summary
Anthony learns to share his library with his viscountess.
He stopped, gaped. Could she not see his papers, his goose quills and silver inkwell, his blotter and seal, his cooling coffee?
"That is my chair," he said.
She did not look up. "Evidently not."
"What? Clearly, that is my chair."
Kate marked her page with a finger and closed the book around it, eyes rolling briefly towards the heavens. "I think it suits me rather better as I am actually using it." She looked up at him under her long lashes in a way that stopped his thoughts cold.
"But I—"
"Have you forgotten your marriage vows so quickly, when you endowed me with all your worldly goods?"

Summary
“Oh, Christophe,” said Helen Sadler when Christophe stumbled out of the darkness and into their house at Hackney.
He was as drunk as he had been to celebrate her marriage; he could not keep his feet. The only thing keeping him upright was bitter experience of how it felt to fall on his injured arm.
Helen carefully embraced him then held him at arm’s length and examined him from top to toe, nose wrinkling. “You need a featherbed and a bath, Christophe, no man more, but first I will take you to Sir Rafe. Come.”

Atmospheric, poetic, angsty, fairytale-adjacent Rumbelle in the dark castle. Lovely character study with tea and cake.

Bookmarker's Notes
This work is so engaging from start to finish, and so beautifully presented, and so clever. The historical fidelity in the piece feels pitch perfect.
I love the different perspectives of a familiar story. There’s somehow still mystery and urgency, even when we know the outcomes so well. Each of these theoretically dry documents is so evocative, the whole piece throbs with hidden life. Magnificent. Truly excellent epistolary.
