I managed to get my red pen scribbles typed up this evening, so that's another two scenes dealt with for now. A little clinky in places, but I'll smooth things in the next editing pass. First off, Edward has to tell Kate his news:

Edward took a deep breath. "I know it's always worried you that I don't have a direct heir."

"Nonsense. I accepted that years ago." Kate took a drink. "I just wish you'd put more effort into contacting your cousin Alexander, and making sure he and his family know their obligations."

"Alex isn't my cousin." Descended from Grandfather Victor's younger brother, Thomas, Alex was closer to a third or fourth cousin, depending on how one calculated it. Edward took a drink, and then topped up both glasses. "And he's not my heir, either."

"A secret marriage at the beginning of this century?" Kate frowned. "No, that would disrupt the line right back to Duke Victor., unless it was Thomas that got up to no good. It wasn't anything to do with him, surely?"

Great progress, getting those two scenes settled for this pass! Good snippet - a tangled family tree with a mysterious branch. Always fun to see how things work out.

I see Kate is going off totally in the wrong direction, Edward had better keep topping up those glasses!

Edward has every intention of doing so.

Will you be sharing the rest of this scene? I really want to read the words he uses to make it completely clear.

I'll see what I can do...

Ah, Kate's barking up the wrong tree entirely! I shall be interested to see how Edward gets the conversation back on track.

Good progress!

Great conversation! It is fun to see all the complications andd to see how the news is going to be such a shock to Kate.
