54. I'm Coming to the Cottage

London is a world away as we arrive at Benedict’s My Cottage, where the isolation makes society’s rules feel ephemeral and avoidable. As Benedict takes the time he needs to heal, Sophie is able to play make-believe in a life that could have been – but will never be – her own.

Meanwhile, back in town, the demand economy is in the workers’ favour and salaries and benefits go up as the Ton scrambles to maintain the staff necessary to keep up appearances – and Francesca attempts to scale a mountain.
