    Summary

    -
    And when Harrow comes over to Gideon's cramped dorm to study, and she lies on the bed, with her legs spread like that, all Gideon has to do is lower her textbook to see—

    Under the shadow of her skirt, Harrow's pale, parted brown thighs. And peeping out between them: her underwear.

    Cotton white, today.
     
    ---
    Harrow doesn’t wear her short skirt decently. It’s Gideon’s problem.

    Summary

    Harrow's favourite saint: Simeon Stylites. Ascetic, lived thirty-six years on top of a pillar, platform two metres square, ten metres up in the air.

    They sent Simeon food up in baskets. Little baby Harrow always found that part fascinating – the idea that someone would lock themselves away and make themselves useless and do nothing but exist, and that despite that uselessness, that madness, the villagers would still come together two times a day and send baskets full of olives and bread up via some kind of elaborate pulley-system they had constructed.

    She told her therapist once that that’s what love meant to her. The pulley system. The baskets.

    Summary

    Slightly wobbly in her high-heeled shoes, Harrow walks over the wet gravel in an ungainly line, and puts out her cigarette in the muddy earth of John Gaius’ fresh-dug grave.

    Gideon stares at her.

    ‘Come on,’ Harrow says, and brushes off her hands as she straightens back up. ‘Let’s get a drink.’

    Summary

    Once it was done—once the secret was out, and the documents drawn up, and the ceremonies commenced—Harrowhark Nonagesimus was brought to Her Divine Highness’s resplendent rooms for her final act of duty. There a gaggle of attendants washed her and perfumed her and dressed her in a gossamer silk nightgown of iridescent white. Which was—exceedingly silly. There they left her, and she awaited the Prince. Her bride.
