Chapter Ten

It was some hours before Simon was able to return to his house. He was weary and greatly frustrated with just how long it had taken him to be able to secure a special license from the Archbishop.

He had known that to be granted a Special License often took a great deal of deliberation, but he had presumed that such rumors had been nothing more than an over-exaggeration. However, he had been asked to wait for hour after hour before the Archbishop could see him, and, on explaining the matter thrice over, the Archbishop had then asked to see the note written to Miss Dynes and required a letter from Miss Dynes herself, stating that she did not wish to marry the man her brother had chosen for her. Since she was of age and her wishes clearly disregarded, the Archbishop had taken into consideration that her brother was trying his best to force his sister’s hand for his own benefit and it had been a great relief to discover that the Archbishop not only knew who Lord Arthur Franks was but had also heard about Viscount Crawford’s strange living situation where he and his wife lived with the Viscount’s brother and the Viscountess’ sister. Simon had repeated often that he did not want to return Miss Dynes to her brother’s home when the situation there was somewhat questionable and it had been this that seemed to sway the Archbishop’s mind.

The note procured and the letter from Miss Dynes written and sealed, Simon had finally managed to get his hands on a Special License which was now carefully tucked away in his breast pocket. All he had to do now was take his two witnesses—Sophia and, most likely, Lord Guthrie, and marry Miss Dynes. All would be well and he would ensure Miss Dynes had a life free from worry.
