In Oxford, Alby continues to rise in prominence as a railway engineer, often consulting on international projects, whereas Clemence is now a senior cataloguer at the Bodleian Library, where her expertise in rare manuscripts has made her renowned in her field.
Their son Cosmo is preparing for university, showing a strong interest in mechanical engineering and architecture, much to the delight of Alby and Dunstan. He still sketches fantastical trains, though now his designs are more intricate and realistic.
Their daughter, Sophronia, is showing a flair for the dramatic, often staging small plays with her dolls and regaling guests with imaginative tales. She is the apple of her father’s eye and enjoys helping her mother with book catalogues by creating her own pretend entries.
Dunstan's architectural career is flourishing. His designs are sought after throughout Europe, and he and Helen have spent much of the past five years traveling to France, Italy, and Germany with their son Frederick in tow.
Freddie is a curious and observant child who has inherited his father's artistic eye and his mother’s sharp wit. He delights in sketching cathedrals and castles from their travels. Back in London, Helen remains committed to her social work, focusing on housing reform for impoverished families, which keeps her rooted in practical concerns even as they explore the continent.
Dorothea and Rosalind have become well-known figures in London's artistic circles. Rosalind's acting career has gained traction, with several successful roles in avant-garde plays, while Dolly's piano lessons have evolved into full-fledged recitals and collaborations with other musicians.
Their home is a haven for artistic women, filled with music, laughter, heated debates about art and politics, and no small amount of clandestine match-making.
Libby and Teddy are now married, having tied the knot in a small but elegant ceremony in 1927. They live in a charming house near Kew Gardens, where Libby continues her work cataloguing rare plants. Teddy, now a prominent botanist, teaches at a university and travels frequently for research. Two years ago, the couple welcomed a daughter.
Harry remains in Birmingham, where his engineering career is thriving. He has started his own firm specializing in mechanical innovations for industry and transportation. A bachelor still, Harry is charming and sociable, but his letters to the family hint at a young woman in Birmingham who has caught his eye.
Brosie has completed his studies at the Royal College of Art and has already exhibited his abstract paintings in London galleries. His works are gaining recognition for their emotional depth and striking use of colour.
He and Mena, who is a textile designer, became engaged in 1928 and married the following year. The couple lives in a small but flat in Chelsea, where they collaborate on projects and host gatherings of creative minds. They have just welcomed their first child.
Ronnie has turned her epistolary adventures into a full-fledged writing career. Her stories of fantastical journeys have been collected into a bestselling book. She travels frequently to promote her work and gather inspiration for new tales. Despite her success, she remains close to her parents and often visits them in Islington, where she regales them with her latest exploits.
Edric and Myrtle are now fully retired, enjoying the company of their children and grandchildren. Their garden in Islington remains the family's gathering place. Edric, though less active professionally, sketches occasionally and dotes on his grandchildren, especially Cosmo and Sophronia.
Myrtle continues to host family dinners and garden parties, her home bustling with a new generation of Applebys. The couple takes great pride in their family's accomplishments and looks forward to what the next decade will bring - all good, they hope.
