Three Weeks With Lady X
“She was at her best in a crisis, when others fell into hysterics. She stopped to introduce herself to Thorn’s butler, who was clearly beside himself with worry.

“You’ll meet the mudlarks tonight, my lady,” the butler said. “They just left for Cheapside to find a patent medicine that Mr. Dusso knows of.”
What on earth had Thorn been up to? Could it be an odd reunion, where the four of them plunged back into the river and revisited their childhood? But she had no time to chat; she hurried back to Thorn’s bedroom and shooed out his valet, who had changed the sheets but not yet bathed his master.
She talked constantly as she dipped a clean cloth in warm water and began to wash Thorn. She told him how much she had missed him, and was missing him now.
