however, Villier's book, extra chapter on her website describes the birth of Eleanor and Villier's child and subsequent baptism of all his illegitimate children, the Duke and Duchess are gifted with the terrible twins and still noted as powerful, loving couple and he has become a voice in Parliament. I skimmed this because the mother was so awful and the premise had too much to do with Poppy's distaste of intimacy owing to her mother. Her passion was revealed as a naturalist, that helped. If you are dedicated to the series, it is a must read despite everything.(less)
