Summary
It is Sir John and Lady Jane’s ongoing trial that Francis wished to marry Miss Sophia Cracroft. Oh, but there are so many more appropriate men - even those better matched within the Discovery Service! Why, a well-placed engagement could improve mutual reputations and cause quite the ‘it’ pair within the Admiralty. Thus, upon an embarrassing and early return to England, Sophia Cracroft and James Fitzjames are strongly encouraged by the Franklins that their pairing would be fortuitous, elevate their standing, and offset some of the detrimental press caused by another failed attempt at the Passage. Hilarity ensues.

Summary
‘Nothing else will do,’ he tells her later in the Franklins’ rear withdrawing-room, his hands behind his back.
‘Well then,’ she says, ‘this will be the great tragedy of your life, Francis.’
Sophia shoos him away and joins her at the head of the stairs: a ship in sail in voluminous dark green bombazine, her eyes pale and glittering in the dim light.
That afternoon, he leaves a bite high on the inside of her thigh, spiteful and luxurious. He hears a gasp, quickly stifled, and grins against her cunt.
‘Take your satisfactions where you may, Captain Crozier,’ she says, and grinds her cheroot out on his window-sill. -

Summary
He could have sworn – Ned could have sworn – that a rising executive at a highly successful transport and logistics multinational would be able to afford the services of a mid-range professional to come on his face and tell him he was a disgusting maggot, and still leave some over for a steady balanced investment in a midcap mutual fund, but apparently not.
In which Ned Little tries and fails to balance his chequebook, until he gets an assist from Thomas Jopson.

Summary
Francis has no particular need of care, no particular desire to have fingers brush his face or person as though he were something breakable and sacred, a temptation and a promise all at once.
No particular desire.
Which is just as well, all things considered.
Or rather, considering one specific thing: that the man in his bed is James Fitzjames.
