   Summary

   John Childermass meets a stranger on his travels, and unwillingly surrenders the secret of his heart.

   John Segundus falls ill, but it is not a typical illness- he is ever chilled, exhausted, and faint. He wanders the Starecross gardens at night in a fever, and opens the windows to his bedchamber.

   Childermass calls upon Jonathan Strange for magical aid where medical has none, and his determination is called into question- to what depths of Hell would a man so widely considered a pitiless rogue travel for love?
