   Summary

   Penelope had been certain — certain! — that Colin would one day return her affections.

   When his head is turned instead by her cousin Marina, Penelope must admit she was wrong.

   After no small amount of crying, Penelope decides she will move on. That she will find a husband. That she will be kissed.

   One question lingers in the back of her mind — why on earth does Colin look so stricken to find her doing just that?
