[ That's...medieval court drama, he'd suppose. Tim isn't so naive that he thought a woman of her age and position, with adult sons had married for love, but the real love being his daughter? That's brutal. A scandal regardless of whether all involved are the appropriate sex. It makes him feel guilty for his own complaining, the stakes of which are no higher than his own heart. ]

From the book of Matthew.

I don't think that the love we're talking about is as active a choice. We can only choose if we act on it.

If she were here, would you? Away from home, and the politics, and the scandal it would be?
