    Summary

    Felix is panicking. Kethe, he’s fucked up, and I ain’t feeling too hot myself, since you ask. But that don’t explain it right. It’s like we’re blurring into each other the way raindrops do running down a wall, and his feelings are bouncing off mine are bouncing off his, echoing and getting bigger and more fucked up by the second. So when Keeper’s suddenly there and she starts undoing my trousers, and she says, “Don’t just sit there, Milly-Fox. Touch me,” and my hand goes up like a puppet’s to her waist, her ribs, my thumb brushing over her nipple in her clothes the way she likes—when that happens, I feel like I’m shaking apart, like I can’t do this no more, like if it goes on for one more second I’ll just break into pieces like glass meeting a boot.

    Mildmay dreams. Suddenly, he isn't dreaming alone.

    Summary

    “You’ve got a dinner invitation,” said Felix, two days later, like someone had mailed me a poisonous snake.

    The Duke of Murtagh had left our place in a hurry this morning. I wondered if this foul attitude was the result or the cause.

    “We do,” I said, cautious, ‘cause it had both our names on the top.

    “No, it’s meant for you,” said Felix, “Quite clearly.”

    Kay/Mildmay, Felix/Murtagh. Mildmay and Felix solve another ghost problem. Kay learns how to communicate within his marriage. The Duke of Murtagh visits, and Vanessa Brightmore (née Pallister) negotiates her marriage. And Mildmay finds something for himself.
