Today was mostly red pen edits, but people have been wanting to know what else was said between Edward and Kate, so here's another snippet from that scene:
"Not Thomas. You remember Father transferred the London properties to me back in '63? Well that was a sort of wedding settlement – since Connie didn't have any family who could do that for her." He felt a twinge of guilt at using his Anglicised pet-name for Consolata, but he wasn't going to get into a discussion of her Catholicism just yet.
"And you have a son? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Connie took him to America. This will be the first year she's allowed him to come and stay with us for the holidays."
"You married an American?" Kate's tone implied that she might have accepted an American heiress, but one without family or wealth was most definitely beyond the pale.
