Summary
Kate leaves for India. Anthony follows, Colin in tow. It goes terribly wrong – and somehow also terribly right.
"Good God, are you duelling again?” asked Colin. “No, wait—" He shut the door. "What has Eloise done now?"
"It's Anthony," said Benedict gleefully. "He's going on a romantic quest across the seas in search of his viscountess!"
Colin’s face lit up. “Anthony, abroad? All in the name of duty, I suppose?”
Anthony rubbed his temple as Benedict poured for Colin.
“How marvellous. I quite approve,” Colin continued. “Did no English ladies meet your lofty standards, that you must search on foreign shores?”
“No, brother,” said Benedict. “He seeks a particular lady who set sail from London this morning—no doubt to get away from the esteemed viscount who nearly married her sister and almost ruined both our families.”
Anthony took a large sip of brandy as he watched Colin do the arithmetic in his head.
“Miss Sharma? She is returning to India?”
“Left this morning,” said Benedict.
“And I am going after her.” Anthony's empty hand touched his watch as he thought about all the time he couldn't waste. “There’s nothing else to be done.”
