Now that the Season had begun in earnest, and Harriet was being escorted to Balls and dinners on most evenings, Charlton had fallen into a pattern. His late evenings, even after Balls, still ended with a short coze with his mother in her parlour, where they both discussed the events of the day, the unsuitability of the gentlemen who were pursuing Harriet, his progress with clearing Michael’s papers, and also the progress of Mary and her child.

But his day now started with a brisk ride (at a far earlier hour than almost any of the ton would ever rise), followed by either more work on Michael’s papers, more study of the papers provided by Baron Setford, and the inevitable tasks required to ensure the good management of his estates, or, every few days, a visit to Mary, Rose and little Sylvie. In the afternoons he met with his friends when he could, especially those of the Hounds who were in town, went on the occasional afternoon visit with his mother and Harriet, and generally got on with life.

The evenings, of course, were a continual round of social events – events where he was two people at once – the charming Viscount Pendholm, making the ton forget his predecessor, squiring his sister, dancing with Lady Odette when he could, and the spy – conversing with the Comte frequently, and being drawn ever further into his circle of trust.

At some of those social events, he saw others of the Hounds – sometimes Hunter, who seemed not quite himself, and was forever surrounded by the matchmaking mamas hoping to catch a Duke for their daughters, sometimes Geoff – Lord Geoffrey Clarence – who seemed to be rather unhappy, perhaps even more so since he had assisted with the rescue of Mary and the child, and was distracting himself, in a rather out of character way, by pursuing those widows known to be open to affairs. Only they had noticed that he was playing cards, and raised an eyebrow. No-one else noticed anything unusual in it.

After evenings with the ton, the days when he visited Mary and Sylvie were a delight. They were so straightforward, so genuine, it was truly refreshing.
