The shrubs underneath that windowsill were perfect for dry heaving into. I don’t think I’d ever seen anything more disgusting, and I’d raised a child. Granted, Holly was hardly a gross child. But babies were always going to be babies and do gross baby things like uncontrollable vomiting and defecation.

My coachman is given firm instructions to drive the carriage home as expressly as possible. I am in desperate need of a full scrubbing. And to distract myself, I reflect very exclusively on Prince Alexander and Prince Consort Cassidy of Nasales. Very. Exclusively.
