    Summary

    "Well," I said, "my dear fellow, long have I known that you possess hidden depths - but I truly had no conception that you could do this."

    Watson sent me and my warm tone a distinctly unimpressed, reproachful look, and turned his back.

    Summary

    It is not nothing, this not being alone.

     

    “Why,” he says gently, ducking his head in an effort to meet her eyes, “would you be buying me a new coat?”

    “Well, because you need one,” she says, so matter-of-factly that he can’t really be offended, “yours is a horrid old thing."

    Summary

    Nightingale in Herefordshire.

     

    Two sets of nearly-identical, wide eyes stare up at him in frightened expectation. To his left, and two steps behind him, where he had ruthlessly propelled her, he can feel Victoria Lacey’s cloying panic leeching into the atmosphere. One of the children – Nicky, he thinks, the fae-born raised in Rushpool – is shivering now that the heatwave of the day has passed. Peter’s mac is rolled up somewhere in the boot of the Jag, down at the bottom of the hill where he can hardly just pop back for it, but he equally fears to give her his own suit jacket, in case it should be taken as the staking of a claim.

    Summary

    “It is Christmas,” Harry offers.
    “A little early for a visit from a wise man,” he muses. “Perhaps you are a shepherd?”
    “Not an angel?” Harry grins. “Hail, thou that art highly favoured.”

    O Thou, whose captain I account myself, Look on my forces with a gracious eye.
    - Richmond, Richard III, Act V, Scene III.

    Summary

    “Is it going well?”

    “I should be asking you that.”

    She hums thoughtfully, shifts slightly; he lifts his arm to accommodate her as she resettles against his side. “I think so.”

    “Then so do I,” he says, warm and loyal and smilingly sincere.

    Summary

    There are good days, and bad days. This is a good one.

    “Gwyn came over so that Mama could clean the kitchen-”
    “It looks lovely,” Ben says dutifully and only mostly sincerely, and she twists her lips against smiling in reply to the sparkle in his eye.
    “-thank you, and nap time came with hardly any screaming.”
    “Hardly any?” Ben raises an eyebrow down into the baskets. “Leia, you’re losing your edge.”

    Summary

    “I’ve found us rooms for tonight,” he says, voice pitched to cut through the downpour. “I’ll find something more permanent in the morning.”

    She just stares at him. The next five minutes are far from her reach; permanency is unthinkable.

    Summary

    Izzy Hands is not having a very good day. This is an understatement, and also a shame, as it will be the last one he ever has.

    The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
    No traveller returns

    Summary

    Come rain or snow, fire or flood, hell or high water or heartbreak, the football goes on.

     

    “Pete asked you to come, didn’t he,” Stede says, tone flat and exhausted. He almost wants to be upset about it, but he’s just too tired - and besides, Pete had made a very big thing, this week, of ensuring that Stede would come to the match. Every half an hour he would sidle up to Stede just to check, just to make sure, and Stede had thought it very sweet and slightly worrying evidence for how much the boy was missing Ed. Now, he feels distinctly stage-managed.

    “Yup,” Ed says, his eyes following Pete as he zigzags with erratic enthusiasm around the pitch. “Apparently, you’re very busy this afternoon and can’t make it.”

    Summary

    Stede is enjoying a rather peaceful day: he has entrusted care of all children to Ed for the day, spent a very pleasant morning helping Mary arrange and rearrange her paintings, had a lovely lunch with her and Doug, and now he is admiring some beautiful artwork, made all the more marvellous for being Mary’s, and all the more enjoyable for knowing that the children are happy in Ed’s safe hands.

    Then Calico Jack rocks up.
