“Alora,” Phillip said, testing out the sound of her name.

It gave her splinters of shivers, and twinkling specks floated in her vision. She had never drunk alcohol before, but Alora surmised that being in his presence affected her much like spirits might affect one who had imbibed too much.

“Would you care to dance with me, Alora?” Phillip held out his white-gloved hand, awaiting her response.

“Dunderhead. Idiot. Imbecile. Cad.

Gideon was keeping track of the names he could label himself.

Had I really said honor? That ‘twould be my honor to wed her?

It would be so much more. A pleasure. A great adventure. A delight!

But my honor?

“I used to think that there was no place run quite as mad as home, but I see the same madness starting to plague this castle. Each day we all grow a little more mad here, and it’s so delightful.

And how the tea and cakes will flow… just like home.”
