    Summary

    It was as he sat drinking his morning coffee that the slow grinding of those pieces falling into place sent a course of comprehension through his body: the tightening of his chest, the heat in the tips of his fingers, a simple message splayed behind his eyes as he looked across the table.

    Connor was in love with him.

    Summary

    As they sweltered side by side in the midday sun, dress cloaks weighing heavily on their shoulders, Porthos eyed each of his friends in turn. Athos, eyes to the front; Aramis, eyes on the pretty daughter of the Duke; and D'Artagnan, pointedly avoiding Porthos' gaze.

    One of them was guilty.

    One of them was enjoying his discomfort.

    One of them had taken his hat!

    Summary

    Their tour stops in a village west of Thebes called Chaeronea, the birthplace of Plutarch, the site of many great battles. Here at this spot, the guide tells them, leading them to a monument topped with a proud lion, the Thebans and Athenians fell to Philip of Macedonia. Charles tries to draw the monument, tries to listen to the guide, but he is hot and dizzy in the summer sun. He reaches for his father’s arm, misses and stumbles; he falls to his knees and vomits on the bright green grass before everything goes black.
