Furious that his son isn’t perfect and calling him an idiot, the Duke writes off his son, saying he’s dead to him. When the Duke threatens to hit him, Simon speaks his first words, and he’s revealed to have a profound stutter. When Simon is four, the Duke is furious that Simon still hasn’t spoken, despite Nurse Hopkins saying he can write and is intelligent. After a period of mourning, the Duke starts taking part in raising his son, though he can’t discuss business matters with an infant. The duchess dies soon after giving birth. Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset, Earl Clyvedon, is born to the Duke and Duchess of Hastings after several years of marriage and miscarriages. Maybe it’s his devilish smile, certainly it’s the way his eyes seem to burn every time he looks at her… but somehow Daphne is falling for the dashing duke… for real! And now she must do the impossible and convince the handsome rogue that their clever little scheme deserves a slight alteration, and that nothing makes quite as much sense as falling in love… Plot And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable.īut as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it’s hard to remember that their courtship is a complete sham. But the two of them know the truth-it’s all an elaborate plan to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. The last time we see her, she’s off to reluctantly start her new life with Sir Phillip Crane.By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend’s sister, the lovely-and almost-on-the-shelf- Daphne Bridgerton. Marina receives a proposal from George’s brother in the name of honor rather than love. Featherington made her believe, but because he died. She eventually learns that George stopped responding not because he rejected her, as Mrs. When that fails, she unsuccessfully attempts to end the pregnancy. When he stops responding to her letters, Marina is forced to find a hasty match to save her reputation. On Bridgerton, she is a cousin of the Featheringtons who is sent to London despite being in love with a soldier, George Crane, and secretly pregnant with his child. Poor Marina can’t catch a break on the page or the screen.
