Status Updates From The Corinthian

'It's all the same to me: dandy, Corinthian, or pure popinjay!'

when I met you I was about to contract a marriage of convenience. Within twelve hours of making your acquaintance, I knew that no matter what might happen, I would not contract that marriage. Within twenty-four hours, my dear, I knew that I had found what I had come to believe did not exist.

Awww

"Such a man would not be at all the husband for you,' he said, shaking his head. You must undoubtedly choose some one who is not at all easily shocked.'

Don't you wish to marry him?'
She stared at him with puckered brows. She thought of Sir Richard, of the adventures she had encountered in his company, and of the laughter in his eyes, and of the teasing note in his voice. Suddenly she flushed rosily, and the tears started to her own eyes. 'Yes. Oh, yes, I do!' she said.

WHAT??? Hahaha <3 <3

A sigh of relief escaped Pen. With Sir Richard's entrance the reeling world seemed, miraculously, to have righted itself. She left the window-seat, and went instinctively towards him. <3

'Laughing! I am recalling my comfortable home, my ordered life, my hitherto stainless reputation, and wondering what I can ever have done to deserve being pitchforked into this shameless imbroglio! Apparently, I am to go down to history as one who not only possessed a cousin who was a monster of precocious depravity, but who actually aided and abetted him in attempting to seduce a respectable young female.' Bahaha

'Do you mind very much?' he asked abruptly.
Aww he totally likes her <3

Oh nooo hahaha

A murder!? Oh my lol

The stolen diamonds!! I knew things were going too smoothly hahaha

allow the young gentleman to sleep in the spare bed in your honour's chamber?
'No, said Sir Richard. 'I am an extremely light sleeper, and my nephew snores.' Ignoring an indignant gasp from Pen, he turned to Mr Yarde. 'Do you snore?' he asked.
Jimmy grinned. 'Not me!'
‘Then you,' said Sir Richard, 'may share my room.’

Dying laughing! Such a true gentleman getting her her own room

'I told him as how your honour had bespoke both bedchambers, but he is very wishful to get a lodging, sir, so I told him as how I would ask your honour if, maybe, the young gentleman could share your honour's chamber - there being two beds, sir.' Sir Richard, meeting Miss Creed's eye for one pregnant moment, saw that she was struggling with a strong desire to burst out laughing.

Ohmygosh so close!! LOL

‘I shall require a bedroom for myself, and another for my nephew,’ said Sir Richard.

I know Heyer would never but I’m still chanting “only one bed”!!

'Do you know, Pen Creed, I fancy you have come into my life in the guise of Providence?
She looked up enquiringly. ‘Have I?' she said doubtfully.
"That, or Disaster’, said Sir Richard. 'I shall know which when I am sober. But, to tell you the truth, I don't care a jot!

“'I am not quite sober, you know - in fact, I am drunk - but I cannot help feeling that this is all a trifle - shall we say - irregular?”

Adorable

“It was at this moment that he became aware of a peculiar circumstance. Someone was climbing out of a second-storey window of one of the prim houses on the opposite side of the street.”

Time to meet our heroine!!

“The door opened; a Corinthian stood upon the threshold, cynically observing his relatives. 'A thousand apologies,, said the Corinthian, bored but polite.”

Umm what is a Corinthian lol
