The last of the Bedwyn stories and the one that I have been looking forward to the most. This is the story of the Duke of Bewcastle who, up until this book, has been portrayed as a cold, arrogant man with little feeling for his siblings (except at rare moments when he can’t seem to help himself) It is obvious that he has been deeply hurt and needs love. Enter Christine Derrick, a widow and person who lives life to the fullest. Disasters seem to follow her everywhere and Wulfric seems to be the one who is always saving her. Despite himself he seems to be falling for her. So he offers for her to be his mistress. She is appalled and tells him so. More time passes and they are thrown together in a lot of different ways. Is Wulfric’s heart thawing or will he always have ice for a heart?

In chapter 24 of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jim complains to the duke that “it got mighty heavy and tiresome to him when he had to lay all day in the wigwam tied with the rope” (143) pretending to be a runaway slave. So the duke comes up with a clever solution, “He dressed Jim up in King Lear’s outfit…and then he took his theatre-paint and painted Jim’s face and hands and ears and neck all over a dead dull solid blue, like a man that’s been drownded[sic] nine days…Then the duke took and wrote a sign on a shingle…Sick Arab-but harmless when not out of his head.”
Wait, it gets worse. (more…)
