Summary
Kate leaves for India. Anthony follows.

"Good God, are you duelling again?” asked Colin. “No, wait—" He shut the door. "What has Eloise done now?"
"It's Anthony," said Benedict gleefully. "He's going on a romantic quest across the seas in search of his viscountess!"
Colin’s face lit up with unwelcome delight. “Anthony, on a trip abroad? All in the name of duty, I suppose?”
Anthony rubbed his temple as Benedict poured one out for Colin as well.
“How marvellous. I quite approve,” Colin continued. “Did no English ladies meet your lofty standards, that you must search on foreign shores?”
“No, brother,” said Benedict. “He seeks a particular lady who set sail from London this morning—no doubt to get away from the esteemed viscount who nearly married her sister and almost ruined both our families.”
Anthony took a large sip of brandy and then another as he watched Colin do the arithmetic in his head.
“Miss Sharma? She is returning to India?”
“Left this morning,” confirmed Benedict.
“And I am going after her,” said Anthony. His empty hand touched his watch as he thought about all the time he couldn't waste. “There’s nothing else to be done.”
