Absolutely loving this. Like Silverbridge very much, but I'm not sure Lady Mab is the best choice for him. She loves another and she belittles him. A good wife does not belittle her husband, even in private. I also like Tregear, but he and Mabel would be better to take their chances than marry for the money they need. Perhaps Mary will not get what she is bargaining for.

Cora has died. This both shocked and shook me. She is a favorite character from the series, will be missed terribly as the story goes forward. "The utter prostration of the bereft husband could not have been more complete. It was not only that his heart was torn to pieces but that he did not know how to look out into the world. It was as though a man should be suddenly called upon to live without hands or even arms."
