Everyone thought I was with child? I fought back a gag. How dare they say such a thing? The moment Richard had arrived in town with Miss Klephakov on his arm, it seemed I had been dropped from society’s favour like a burning coal.

As I sat on my bed ashen-faced, I remembered, for the first time in much too long, poor Miss Stevenson. Only last year, she had been a favourite on the London scene. She and I were rather good friends, but then she’d been caught alone with a married Lord. Despite both of their assertions that nothing untoward had happened, rumours spread, and within days society had shunned her.

I, along with all the others, had stopped calling at her family home, stopped inviting her to soirees, stopped being her friend altogether. Perhaps I had never really been her friend to begin with.

Now that I was on the unfortunate end of the same treatment, I realised how badly I had behaved. I’d been unfair to Miss Stevenson, and to so many others whom I couldn’t even name now. Bright, interesting women who made one perceived mistake and found themselves cast out. Was I to be next?

No. I wouldn’t have it. Demonically possessed or not, I’d be home by Christmas to take my rightful spot as the Light of London. I had to. I had nothing else.
