Rolfe scanned the coastline, his eyes coming to rest on Lizard Peninsula once again. He knew he should just leave this miserable part of England. He did not want to be here. Jane did not want him here. In fact, the only person who seemed to be happy with his presence was Miss Fairchild, for some unknown reason. For the last few days she had gone out of her way to ensure his comfort by conversing with him and arranging events that would tempt him. But he knew what had to be done. He would leave as soon as possible for London. He had done his duty. And now he would keep his promise to Jane. He would not meet with her father until after she and Mr. Thompson had eloped. For the rest of the summer he would reside in London. Society would be thin at the end of summer, and that was how he liked it.

He was tired of all the idle chatter and frivolous activities. He would do a thorough review of all the estates’ holdings by calling all seven of his stewards into town. Then he would tour several properties if necessary on his way back to Hesperides prior to the fall season. The plan was sound, and he itched to leave. He felt a dark mood penetrate his being, not unlike the ones suffered before and after a hard battle. He longed to retrieve his horse and ride back to the house, but decorum dictated otherwise. He cursed the fact, as he moved toward the others, that even being an earl did not excuse one from performing distasteful acts of socializing.
