Dear Diary,
I don’t know how long I can keep this up. My father
is so pleased with me, and it is such a relief to have
him in this happy state after all the upset over
whatever it was Fidelia did to infuriate him so. He
returned to Hardacre last week, though, and my
cousin, Mrs Chandler, has the unenviable task of
chaperoning me about town. Now that his grace is
no longer watching my every move, I am bound to
go astray. It is much less of an effort to behave as I
ought when I know he is watching every move I
make. But now I have only Mrs Chandler and she is
more interested in gossiping with her friends and
flirting with her cicisbeos than keeping me out of
trouble.

I am to go to yet another ball this evening, and I
swear if that dreadful man ignores me again, I
shall… Well, I have not yet decided quite what I
shall do. I swear I am not so horribly vain as to
expect every man I see to fall at my feet, but he
makes such a point of ignoring me it is obviously
done to provoke me, and I do not understand why.

What can I have done to give him a disgust of me
when we have never even been introduced? It is just
so very peculiar when every other man is so very
attentive. Too attentive to be honest. I am so weary
of hearing my eyes compared to ‘fathomless pools of
blue’ what nonsense, and if I must endure the
reading of another mawkish sonnet to my beauty and
innocence, I may just vomit.

I ought to hurry and choose a husband and get it
done with. Then I need not endure this farce any
longer. I long for a home of my own where I may find
a little peace without my father’s constant
expectations of how I ought to behave and his neverending cutting remarks. His standards are too
impossibly high and surely a husband would be
kinder to me if I choose well. Mr Winslow seems a
sweet sort of fellow. No title but from an excellent
family and vastly wealthy.

I know his grace will not
approve the match, but maybe if I push hard enough,
I could wear him down. Winslow is the kind of man I
might find something resembling contentment with,
at least. He’d be an amiable husband who would not
bother me overmuch. I know he’s desperate to
propose, but he’s too spineless, the poor dear. I shall
simply have to give him a nudge.
―Excerpt of a diary entry by Lady Narcissa
Ponsonby.

15th January 1850, The Countess St Clair’s New Year’s Ball, St James’s,
London.
Ash watched as the carriage rumbled away, taking Baron Childe to the
sanatorium, where he would likely spend the rest of his days. Thorn had
finally freed his beloved Miss Fortesque of her vile brother, and the way she
had gazed at Thorn had made an odd sensation stir in Ash’s chest.
“Well, that went as it ought, then,” Leo said cheerfully, clapping Ash on
the back.
