Chapter 3 Summary

When they begin the dance, Kate steps hard on Anthony’s foot. He tells her that while she has had success managing Edwina’s other suitors, she is mistaken to believe that she can manage him. As the dance concludes, Kate stomps on Anthony’s foot again. Anthony tells Kate in no uncertain terms that he will court Edwina, and he will marry her. The next day, numerous suitors send flowers for Edwina to the Sheffields’ house. Many of the bouquets make Edwina sneeze, so Kate takes them to her rooms. She is surprised to hear Anthony’s voice behind her. Kate is frustrated that the butler did not check first to make sure the Sheffields were ready for visitors.

Anthony suggests that their mother probably instructed the butler to let Anthony in no matter what. Kate, frustrated, calls Mary by her given name, which surprises Anthony. Kate explains that Mary is her stepmother, but also the only mother she has ever known. Anthony is unperturbed by Edwina’s absence, as the bouquet he brought is three arrangements: one for Edwina, one for Mary, and one for Kate. She is genuinely touched by the gesture, since everyone who sends flowers to their house never sends any to her or to Mary.
