For some time thereafter, Gray lived in a state of perpetual tension, awaiting some escalation of the threats against the Kingdom of Britain, King Henry, or Sophie herself. But whether because Lord de Courcy or some one of his minions had dropped a judicious word in someone’s ear, or simply because—as Mór MacRury had conceded—no scandal could hold the attention of Din Edin society longer than a month, no further insult was offered to the Marshalls’ house, and no direct insult to Sophie’s person.

Her letters to her father and Lord Kergabet had produced a flurry of replies from Ned and Roland, as well as from Kergabet and the King, such as Gray thought might have tempted her to reconsider—particularly in respect of Joanna’s visit—and certainly had the situation deteriorated. Though opinions of Lucia MacNeill’s betrothal, and of British subjects resident in Din Edin generally, continued deeply divided, however, the unpleasant distinction briefly accorded to Sophie was already fading, and whilst Gray did not entirely share her apparent confidence, each day that passed without some worse incident made him less anxious for her safety.

Still he made sure that she went nowhere unescorted; and Sophie, for her part, made a very handsome job of pretending not to have remarked his solicitude.
