Chapter 15 Summary

This chapter is a flashback, and it fills in the blanks of Ash and LaMotte's trip to Yorkshire. It is hard to tell if they are traveling companions at first, but as they get further away from their home they begin to speak, and he takes her hand. Ash brought a ring for Christabel, a family ring that belonged to his mother. Christabel had the forethought to bring a ring as well, also a family heirloom. She decides to wear them both and fits them together on her finger. When they arrive at the inn, they are taken to their rooms and then have dinner in a private dining room. Ash notices that Christabel does not act like a wife. She watches him like a bird who is trapped. He decides that he will show her that she is not his possession.
