  • Summary

  • Time to learn more about our hero! Rupert is preoccupied searching for a book about bees after discovering an unusual swarm on the estate. He tasks his valet with picking out formal attire for an evening dinner while he focuses on researching the bees. Billings interrupts to deliver drawings colored by Miss Sharpe, who completed them very quickly. Rupert is impressed by her skill in capturing the details. But how to show her appropriate thanks for her incredible work?


    On his way to his research, Rupert hears distressing shouts and goes to investigate. He finds Miss Sharpe tending to an injured child, Geoffrey, who fell from a tree due to his governess's negligence. Rupert carries the boy inside and sends for a doctor, remaining by his side. He and Miss Sharpe discuss the realities of a childhood without affection. Their opinions of one another strengthen through caring for Geoffrey until the doctor arrives.
