Summary
It is Sir John and Lady Jane’s ongoing trial that Francis wished to marry Miss Sophia Cracroft. Oh, but there are so many more appropriate men - even those better matched within the Discovery Service! Why, a well-placed engagement could improve mutual reputations and cause quite the ‘it’ pair within the Admiralty. Thus, upon an embarrassing and early return to England, Sophia Cracroft and James Fitzjames are strongly encouraged by the Franklins that their pairing would be fortuitous, elevate their standing, and offset some of the detrimental press caused by another failed attempt at the Passage. Hilarity ensues.

Summary
‘Nothing else will do,’ he tells her later in the Franklins’ rear withdrawing-room, his hands behind his back.
‘Well then,’ she says, ‘this will be the great tragedy of your life, Francis.’
Sophia shoos him away and joins her at the head of the stairs: a ship in sail in voluminous dark green bombazine, her eyes pale and glittering in the dim light.
That afternoon, he leaves a bite high on the inside of her thigh, spiteful and luxurious. He hears a gasp, quickly stifled, and grins against her cunt.
‘Take your satisfactions where you may, Captain Crozier,’ she says, and grinds her cheroot out on his window-sill.

Summary
Gibson: I spoke to Irving. We came to an understanding regarding yesterday’s text incident. Cornelius didn’t see it the same way.
Gibson: It’s pretty raw right now. I would prefer not to talk about it.
Armitage: Did you have to explain what 8===D means
Gibson: Yes :(Bookmarked by anactoriatalksback

Summary
He sends letters, of course, because out in the sticks there's not much to do except tend to Westchester's endless affairs. And, of course, avoid tending to those affairs by going on walks, riding, and writing letters that make him hard and thrill secretly when he hands the properly-sealed, addressed envelope to the butler.
I was in London the other day, and in a bookseller's along The Strand I found the most interesting and instructive volume. Or rather, it would have proved instructive if we had not already worked our way through much of the repertoire.
