    Summary

    Wil noh Daiomoru of Queenscove was nine when he realized that no one knew who he was.

    (“Wil doesn’t know who she is.” Da’s voice was rising in pitch. “She’s nine."

    “Wil is a very mature and self-aware nine-year-old,” said Aunt Kel. There was a hard edge to her voice that Wil didn’t hear very often. “And if you’re going to be hysterical about this, we’ll talk about it in the morning.”

    “I think,” said Mama, “that we thought we had two daughters, but we actually have a daughter and a son.”)

    Set ten years after Lady Knight.

    Summary

    Caroline turned away again, her jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

    This was absurd.

    She had been placed — maneuvered — into this situation. Separated from Lady Catherine, from the sphere in which her attentions might be properly directed and, more importantly, properly observed. Installed instead in a light, exposed carriage with a younger son whose fortune was uncertain and whose prospects, while respectable, were by no means assured.

    It was, she thought, a test.

    Or a trap.

    All orchestrated by Eliza Bennet Mrs. Darcy.

    Very well.

    If she could not avoid it, she would endure it — and on her own terms. She suddenly felt very cross, and became determined to make Colonel Fitzwilliam feel very cross as well.
