Things happened quickly then.Catherine gave Georgiana a swift hug and went to fetch Artie.The Chadbourns left, and Andrew went to pack.

An hour later he stood by the door and took his wife in his arms.The Chadbourn carriage waited on the street.“It may be a goose chase, Georgie.If so, we’ll be back in two weeks.If he needs us… Well, I’ll be back on time,” he said patting her belly.

Andrew felt a tug on his trousers and looked down to find Aeneas lugging their copy of the Illiad.

“Αχιλλ?ας, γιος του Πηλ?α, Papa,” Aeneas said plaintively—Achilles, son of Peleus.“More.”

A swift but powerful kiss saw him on his way.
