Emmeline had seen the same look in the eyes of Felicity Burton, the Duchess of Galcross. It was sadness and, worst of all, of definite regret. In fact, it was a regret that looked so deep that Emmeline could hardly continue to regard him. She could not imagine that she could look into those eyes a moment longer and remain unaffected.

It was not, she realized, that she would suffer any similar regrets herself. In fact, as she looked at him, as handsome as he was, Christopher Lennox had become insubstantial in some way. Inasmuch as she had felt lessened in the eyes of society by his actions, to regard him at that moment and to recognize that he was trapped and fearful of the life which was heading towards him at speed along the church aisle, Christopher Lennox had become lessened in her eyes. And, right then, she truly was free. She no longer felt herself to be on display, a curiosity for everybody else to study as the wedding took place. Emmeline had ascended a little as if she was hovering far above it all, a person unaffected in any way.
