On the Peninsula, the object of much of this speculation was totally unaware of the obligations fate had tossed at him. Zachary’s first inkling came in a letter from his mother, telling him of his cousin Henry’s death a good six weeks after the fact. Then he read the lurid newspaper accounts.

His first thought was of Sydney. My God. Widowed at—what? Twenty? One and twenty? He tried to imagine her in widow’s weeds but his mind kept dredging up the vision as she walked down the aisle on her wedding day. Sydney was free now! But what might that mean for one Zachary Quintin?

Probably nothing.

Three years—and how many more? People change and life goes on like a tree with branches extending and growing in random directions.

And one of his branches included Elena.

Belatedly, he thought of Henry. Poor Henry. Life had not dealt kindly with the Earl of Paxton. ’Twas little wonder he had spent so much time and effort on escaping his problems.

It did occur to Zachary that, as his cousin’s executor, he had certain duties connected with that role, but he dismissed them as largely legalistic. The lawyer, Phillips, could handle matters—at least for now, and probably forever. He knew Phillips to be a man of integrity; the lawyer had been a fellow student at Trinity College, though three years ahead of Zachary.

The next packet of letters brought more details. Phillips had dutifully sent documents pertaining to Paxton affairs along with two letters, one from the lawyer himself and one in Henry’s distinctive script. He read the lawyer’s missive first.
