    Summary

    In the days Sunday has spent in his company, he has shown neither proper terror nor reverence. No supplications. No trembling awe. Instead, he has dared to touch one of the Gentry, to press a damp washcloth to his fevered skin, to dress his wounds with earthy poultices, and to sit— uninvited, unshaken—by his bedside, quietly reading a book as if tending to a wounded hare.

    The nerve of him.

    A fae, a baron, and a crumbling old manor.

    Summary

    In the drawer of Father Wood's end table is a silver handgun. He’d told Sunday of its whereabouts should he ever need to defend himself from anyone threatening to do their family harm: thieves, government officials, the like.

    Sunday can’t think of anyone who does more harm to his family than himself.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    ... He kicks off his sandals on the doormat and steps over the threshold without letting his feet touch the porch.

    ... Robin extends her hand across the table. Sunday does not take it in his, even though he longs to; he hadn't been able to wash his hands yet.

    (like back then, like time with the bird, Sunday is thinking about the bird again, Sunday is thinking about what he's done again)

    ... Sunday can't begin to imagine how many hours of his life he's spent waiting for the bathtub to fill.

    ... Regret and guilt are his most common feelings and yet they never get any easier to experience.

    (Does it matter if he accidentally brushes against the garbage can now?)

    ... He wishes that he still deserved the freedom to enjoy the weather.

    (His body recoils at the sensation, not because of his impending fate, but because the barrel must be covered in all sorts of grime and grease and who-knows-what and it's in his mouth and it's scalding down his throat -

    He pulls the trigger.)

    Summary

    all that remained was a music box, whose notes he heard individually and out of order even though, on examination, there was nothing wrong with the instrument.
