Summary
Ever since childhood, it has been a truth universally acknowledged for Tharkay that everything good in life comes at a price. Inviting Laurence to station indefinitely at his estate implied Tharkay’s awareness and consent of Temeraire’s presence, and for all Tharkay's fondness for the creature, Temeraire remains, well, Temeraire. What Tenzing was not aware of was that, in hindsight, inevitably, he was to become subjected to Temeraire’s profound affections, which projected onto the dragon's belief that the estate and its inhabitants can be treated as dolls in a dollhouse and picked up whenever Temeraire feels appropriate.

Summary
Laurence desires nothing more than to retire to Tharkay's estate and help Temeraire get to Parliament, for what more could he want than a place in Britain with space enough for a dragon, and the company of a dear friend? But wars rarely end so neatly. Bellicose lords, Bourbon princes, errant heirs and shadowy forces threaten to undermine the very peace that Laurence and Temeraire fought to obtain, and ruin the happiness that Laurence was just beginning to glimpse.

Summary
He walked slowly through the dark and empty hallways, the moon throwing the scene into blue tones and his footsteps echoing around him. Laurence’s mind kept carefully blank.
He passed Tharkay’s study, candlelight was spilling out from under the door. It looked delicate and frail, and while Laurence looked it flickered and died.
It is late, Laurence thought looking at the dark spot the light had left, the hallway felt suddenly a lot colder.
He continued to his own room, not lighting a candle to guide his way.In which Granby tries to be a good friend, and Temeraire is more aware of his captain's mental state than people thought.

Summary
Despite the dark, and the whirling wet snow, and the freezing chill of the wind, Tenzing felt an unexpected thrill of excitement begin to simmer in his blood, not quite quenched by the shame that followed.
