I've always said Charlotte was a self-willed madam; no one could see it but me. A privileged life, cupped in the shimmering gold and green grandeur, the dour buil We're not. However, I cannot be absolved from responsibility for what happened.

I'm sorry if I've been the cause of any anxiety. The trouble is they were all too drunk or doped to know what they'd seen. There was a fatal flaw inside her that was dooming her to a cold and loveless existence, and it was no one's fault except her own. A minute or two later, Maddy came running out into the corridor, white-faced and blinded with tears.
