"Bringing a doxy from his bed to a family meeting about Kit's fate proved Will capable of every kind of selfish, decadent, unthinking folly."
- Is it completely wrong of me to find that statement hilarious when said meeting included their mother, a courtesan who had a child with each of her noble protectors???5 likes · Like flag

"He had his mother's eyes and her capacity for extremes. He was the lion in the old tale with a thorn in its paw. Wounded, trapped in anger at the world's evils, he would not find his lost brother. He could search all of London and find only injustice and pain.
She was the mouse, the partner, who could free him as he had freed her."
"This time he'd not follow her. He had no claim on her."
- That's the most sensible thing I've hear yet.

LOL. It is very ironic, but I can see why. The courtesan's supposed to be the hoity toity high class doxy, LOL. She would never mingle with one from the street.
I don't think he (the brother) thought she was an actual prostitute. I think he was just using it as a scornful term for someone his brother hooked up with.
But either way, I just find it kind of baffling and hilarious. The lot of you are bastards from different daddies and your mom is a prostitute. And you're ticked your brother brought his hookup???
No. :( I'm not angry or pissed, I just don't care. There's no depth or motivation for any of the events or attraction between the h/h. Basically, the book is leaving me cold.
Hope you do finish it and wish I could say that it gets better, but honestly it doesn't sound like it will.
Considering what you have told us about this, I don't. But we'll be cheering you one from the sidelines. >_<
