Forgive me, Rufus, Edward thought. Forgive me for loving her so much that I dared to marry her.

She was here, at the other end of the aisle, smiling at him, when he had been half expecting her to call the whole thing off at the last minute. He had not even allowed himself to dream of Rufa in her bridal gown, and here she was: lovely enough to break her father’s heart.

But I’ll take care of her, Edward promised the shade of the Man.

He had hardly slept the night before, keeping a last vigil with the shade of Alice. It was lucky, he thought, that he had not married her in this church. They had run off to a registry office in London, to escape old Mrs Reculver’s lingering disapproval. At the time, Rufus had reproached him – why hadn’t he been best man, and his pretty little daughters bridesmaids? Well, thank God it hadn’t happened, or this would have been far too strange.

This time, Edward’s best man was an old friend from Sandhurst, now a colonel in a Scottish regiment. His wife and two teenaged daughters stood on Edward’s side of the church, among the soldiers and farmers who made up his circle. He could see, from the expressions on their faces, that they could hardly believe Edward had won such a woman. He hardly believed it himself. He could not go through with it unless he banished all ghosts, dead and living.
