The story so far
Everything you need before watchingA miniature inscribed to Violet has turned up, and she knows the family thinks something improper once went on with Montmirail. Tom is a rotten liar, and she teases him for it. They hope to meet at the villa every summer; she says that is all over for her. He was not what they had in mind for Sybil, but they got past it. The portrait, she says, came from a street photograph she should have burned.
