    Summary

    Tom Hayward and Mary Bennet were very happy to be engaged, even if the Gardiners had decided that they had to be chaperoned at all times now.

    But it was quite fine, they were going to be married in a few weeks, they could tolerate it and behave themselves. Couldn’t they?
    -
    Or in which Tom pulls an Anthony Bridgerton and after repeating “I am a gentleman” multiple times his restraint finally snaps.

    Unless of course - no one knew about it.

    Summary

    Mary had done her research.

    This was, she felt, the most responsible approach. She had always believed that the correct response to an unfamiliar situation was thorough preparation, and she had applied this principle consistently throughout her life - to London, to the Lake District, to the question of managing a household, to the correct way to address a letter to a barrister’s chambers, to approximately anything and everything she had ever encountered that was new. There was no reason to treat this occasion differently simply because the literature was somewhat more difficult to obtain and considerably more… varied in quality.

    She had obtained it anyway. Through methods she was never going to describe to anyone, including Tom, including Mrs. Gardiner, including her journal, she had acquired and read several relevant texts over the course of the weeks between engagement and the wedding, and she had formed, from this reading, a set of conclusions.

    The primary conclusion was: Tom would know what he was doing.

     

    *Tim Robinson voice* You SURE about that?!
