    Summary

    It would be easy, comfortable, to sit down before the settee, stretch his legs towards the heat of the fire, curl an arm around the slim muscle of Tharkay’s calf and his fingers around the fine bones of Tharkay’s ankle, above the ropey line of scars where shackles left their mark in the Blue Mountain. He might lay his head against Tharkay’s knee from that position, as he listens to Granby speaking.

    The thought is at least not as craven as the desires that usually hook into Laurence’s gut when he joins Tharkay late in the drawing room; when they are alone.

    Summary

    The years were speeding up, of that there was no doubt. But where once Laurence had marked their turning by the height and wildness of the currents of the oceans or the air, and the ebb and flow of military campaigns, his seasons now took a more domestic character. They were delineated by the nighttime tumult of lambing, or the first fine evening that after-dinner drinks could be enjoyed outside Temeraire’s pavilion, the deadheading of roses or the smell of the autumn’s first peat fire.

    Laurence, now a retired gentleman of some means, is able to mark his friend’s birthdays as he has always wished.

    Summary

    How Jane managed to wear through her stockings so quickly when it was Excidium who was doing the bulk of the physical labour just now was a mystery that Edith could never hope to solve. Perhaps she kept moths as pets; perhaps she chewed on them herself; perhaps she offered them to her midwingmen for target practice. Regardless, someone needed to fix them.

    Summary

    In the days after Laurence moves in with Tharkay, as the summer gives way to autumn, he finds the sort of companionship that he had started to think was not meant for him. He would like to stay like this forever, so long as Tharkay will have him as he is.

    Summary

    Of course it would be Tenzing and not me.

    When Granby sees the change in Laurence and Tharkay's relationship, he wants nothing more than to wish them well and slink away, heartsick and pining.

    He has it all wrong
