Summary
Penelope swears that she will make it Aubrey Hall if it kills her. The universe takes up her challenge.
Sans carriage and caught in the worst storm that has struck England in living memory, Penelope bumps into a familiar face on the road (what a mystery who could it possibly be!). Their only hope of a shelter in the storm requires a degree of... creative... application of the truth and Penelope finds herself wondering how a young lady is to comport herself when the bounds of propriety have been all but swept away.
Enter Colin, who has a suggestion or two.

Summary
"Normally, I only have to think of you reading my letters for my muse to alight upon my shoulder and guide my quill across the page. You said once that there is so much more to say than what one can put into a letter… tell me, Pen… do you have nothing to say? Have my letters missed the mark? Your silence is most unusual, and I cannot help but feel perplexed, as I cannot figure out what could possibly be keeping you from responding… twelve letters, Penelope… one, or two is an accident… twelve is a punishment."
Colin returns to London for the Season of 1815, hoping to reconnect with his friend Penelope - only to discover that everything has changed between them.

Summary
"I would like to marry," Penelope said bluntly. She looked him directly in the eye, daring him to disagree.
"Right." Colin gave a slow nod of the head, clearly taken aback by the declaration. His eyes had gone wide, giving him a look that was reminiscent of cornered prey.
It seemed that the heavens were intent upon tormenting her.
"Not you," she managed to say evenly, although she felt tumultuous waves rocking the boat that was her composure.
"No, of course not," he agreed hastily, embarrassment evident on his face.

Summary
“Perhaps you should take a seat,” said Violet.
Colin wouldn't remember the details of what his mother told him next. He would remember her hand warm on his knee, her eyes wide with concern, her voice gentle as velvet. All of it in stark contrast to the devastating news she shared.
Penelope was ruined.

Summary
Colin would like nothing more than to teach his dearest friend the true art that could be found in a game of pall mall, although he only wished he could do so without the help of the peanut gallery and all their meaningful 'looks'. Penelope, for her part, is determined that a slight against Lady Whistledown will not go unchallenged setting her thoughts upon a most dangerous path.
Pall mall, rain, and midnight trips to the library. What could possibly go wrong?!
