Lord Denver came to call and asked to speak to her, but she refused to see him knowing it was for the best. He spent some while closeted with her father and then left; she heard him striding away, taking her heart with him

Eugenie was apathetic, too wretched to have an opinion one way or another about their forthcoming departure. All she said on the matter was that she had been sure Mr Tennent intended to marry her, that he had convinced her it was permissible to be alone together if they were to be betrothed. Her sister berated herself constantly for being so gullible and swore she would never fall in love again but would remain a spinster and a solace to her father in his old age.

'I have no desire to remain here, to be reminded every moment of his betrayal so I suppose we might as well go and visit our grandparents. They have been most pressing since Papa contacted them a few months ago,' Eugenie said petulantly.

'It will become easier, my love, and because of Lord Denver's quick action no damage has been done to your reputation. We can return in the New Year and carry on as though nothing untoward has happened between the gentlemen at Kesgrave Abbey and ourselves.'

At no time did her father or sister ask how she was faring; they must assume that only Eugenie was suffering heartbreak. Emma had only recently understood that she loved Lord Denver and had had no time to share this discovery with her sister before that fateful night. Now she could not do so and must bear her grief as best she could in the privacy of her chamber.
