-- DD [9]: Eirene Medbh Frances MurphyDS2 [35]: James Andrew Algernon Cuthbert (eglantine)
- DW [34]: Mary Magdalene Elizabeth Chaplin Wolf
-- DS [3]: Arnold Christian Valentine CuthbertOver the past decade, Ned has grown into his role as Earl; his days of debauchery with Prince George - married seven years ago and then estranged from his wife a year later - are quite over, and he spends a great deal of time in the countryside with his family (where his wife and his mother perpetually struggle for control of the household). He and Octavia had one more child, a second daughter who all too often teams up with Rufus to cause as much chaos as two small bodies possibly can. Whenever Rose and Patrick visit, they delight in teaming up with their cousin, the couple’s only child and something of a violin prodigy.
James, finally captain of a ship-of-the-line, also added to the family with his marriage to a dear childhood friend - he hopes that one day their son will serve aboard a ship with him.The Jarvis Family
DH [52]: Peter Jonathan Jarvis
DW [53]: Marguerite Lucille Jarvis “Margot”, née DesrosiersDD1 [30]: Joy Marguerite Wray, née Jarvis (RowenaRavenclaw)
- DH [36]: Henry Ferdinand James Wray “Hal” (Darkbone)
-- DH’s DD [11]: Letitia Alys Boudicca Wray (Wordsmith)
-- DS [6]: William Pip Ferdinand WrayDD2 [26]: Mercy Geneviève Jarvis (Quicksilver)
- DH [25]: Vincent Julius Charles Bonham
-- DS/DS [1]: Olivier Simon Pascal & Philo Samuel Maxence (Peace and love, peace being expressed through the olive branch)DD3 [23]: Verity Delphine Jarvis (Darkbone)
- DH [29]: Rhys ParryDS1 [19]: Prosper Constantin Jarvis (Jessamine)Joy and Hal spent several years caring for Letitia - Joy glad to be able to provide a maternal figure in the girl’s life - before they welcomed a son of their own, an energetic little boy who thinks the world of his older sister.
Mercy’s first years in “society”, spent in London, were rather more successful by Peter and Margot’s measure than her older sister’s. She married the eldest son and heir of a Duke who is a close advisor to the increasingly erratic King George, and a year ago she gave birth to twin boys.
Even the shy and retiring Verity recently found herself a husband, a Welsh physician who holds no title besides that of doctor; her parents permit the union thanks to Mercy’s success in marrying up. To their discontent, however, Prosper has expressed more of an interest in his newest brother-in-law’s career than in Peter’s business, and has been making plans to leave to study medicine in London.The Irvine Family
DH [39]: Robert Reginald Angus Irvine
DW [38]: Agnes Irvine, née MacinnesDS1 [20]: Magnus Duncan Fionn Irvine (Irene)
- DW [22]: Lexie Jean HamiltonDS2/DS3 [18]: John Asa Domnall Irvine & Jacob Ezra Cailean Irvine (emmalou)
DD1 [15]: Mary Agnes Ealasaid Irvine “Merry” (AhaRememo)
DS4 [12]: Alexander Malcolm Tavish Irvine (eglantine)
DD2 [10]: Augusta Margaret Mòr Irvine (molly)Following the fiasco with Augusta and her mother, Robert has stuck to his vow to be faithful to Agnes, although whether out of some genuine feeling for her or simply a desire not to be landed with anymore unexpected children she isn’t sure. Their relationship is cordial, although not particularly warm, and Magnus’ recent wedding was the first time in years that they have spent unbroken days in each other’s company. Magnus is an active, energetic young man, and particularly fond of riding - a year ago, he fell from his horse while out unaccompanied and broke a leg. He was rescued, essentially, by the young woman to whom he is now married, the independent-minded daughter of a minor noble. She was the one who asked him to marry her, although he takes care to conceal that fact from his father.keep your chin up and live life facing forward!
