Indeed, Sir

Awww. I do love Madeline Basset. I read that line about "the flower's noble sacrifice," and went *Oh Gag.* It was very sweet, although I do have difficulty believing that Madeline will ever accept that Bertie (and everyone else in the world) isn't secretly pining for her. And poor Bertie, he saw her coming and knew he was about to get engaged again and he thought by the time he reached this age that he wouldn't have to worry about that sort of thing anymore.
