    Summary

    Stephen Day momentarily regrets agreeing to Lucien closing the iron manacles on his wrists, and then lifting him until he needs to balance precariously on the wall at Lucien's height. Lucien is thankfully rather distracting.

    Summary

    Robin has some pre-wedding jitters. Edwin helps him through them.

    ‘It’s nothing. Really,’ he insisted, at the sceptical arch of Edwin’s brows. ‘I suppose I’m just…’ He broke off, shaking his head. ‘This all feels rather strange,’ he muttered. ‘I suppose I’m wondering if it’s the right thing to do.’

    ‘Of course it is,’ Edwin said firmly. He’d had plenty of time to dwell on the matter himself, and it had been a long time since he’d had to argue himself around on it. ‘And if it isn’t, you’re not likely to resolve it by hiding under the bedcovers.’

    Summary

    “Stubbornness runs in the family, I’m afraid.” Robin looked a bit sheepish. “The entire family, actually. Edwin could argue magical theory with the world’s leading experts, and none of the bureaucrats at the Home Office are a match for Addy.” He paused. “From what I’ve heard and observed, you’re no pushover, either.”

    Violet remembered how Maud had called her family. Lady Enid had spoken in her letter about kindred spirits and how true family was more than just blood. She had never let herself be bound by the limitations and rules of society, and neither would Violet. Family could be what they made it.

    Violet offered Robin one of her genuine smiles. “It sounds as though I’ll fit right in with the rest of your family, then.”

    ----

    A reflection on the meanings of family, and the stories of five people who joined the Blyth extended family.
