Inside the crumbling north tower, Margaret Ashworth adjusted the brass gears of a machine that had no business existing in the nineteenth century.

I did not fall in love with the man who returned from India. I fell in love with the man who left, and the man who came back was a stranger wearing his face, which was worse than not having a face at all.Thomas had been bright when we married.
