   Summary

   Plagued by doubts about her husband's true identity, Melinda's desperate, naive attempt to distance herself and toddler Damian from Berlint's life and her marriage comes to a halt the moment Donovan forcefully reenters her life, announcing his second foray into politics.

   -

   Jeeves interrupted her thoughts, 'A postcard has arrived, sent from Mr. Desmond. Warm regards to my beloved family. '
   'How sweet,' she commented, 'Leave it here, Jeeves. I'll try to call him after dinner.' But she knew, with a secret hope that made her stomach churn with nervousness, that Donovan would not answer the hotel numbers he left. So she would simply leave a message for him with one of his secretaries.
