Summary
All summer there has been this steady stream of shirtless profile pictures. Ned looks at each one, very quietly. It would be creepy, he has been reliably informed, to like them all. But who would note his name among the others?

Summary
You are more incompetent than usual, Maître Perrin observes drily, when that frightening-looking young advocate deigns to direct a glance in your direction. You drop any important document entrusted to you. You become incapable of speech. And the king’s councilors, they snicker.

Summary
Dear Lord, he thinks, is this what I’ve come to? In the old days, at least a man could get his cock sucked without engaging in confrontation. Camille seems compliant enough—more than compliant, actually; his affect usually suggests that he would like nothing more than to accommodate you. But then you’re wrong: you somehow find yourself outwitted and humiliated. It’s the same with Lucile. There should be a law against it.

Summary
The suggestion of sandwiches had occurred to Lord Peter in a flash of inspiration, as he considered the awkwardness of a formal supper. He had met Harriet so often on neutral ground—in the best restaurants in London, they had conversed pleasantly but dispassionately, his own voice ringing hollow with forced jocundity. But here, in his house, they could hardly sit across from one another at a table covered by a spotless white tablecloth, where all passion came to expire under the crushing yoke of polite conversation.

Summary
Even if Ariel were to want to return to the sea, even if memories of shells and coral overshadow her restless nights, even if she were to look at her children, who speak only of land matters and never of the water -- even then, she cannot.
