My heart goes out to Belle Madeleine for all that she had to go through. Fourteen years is not a joke at all but thanks to the Good Lord, Saint Peter and Saint John for giving her arms back to her. Even the twins spun linen until they sustained injury. The Marquess searched for his family for seven whole years. Everyone suffered so much because of the Marchioness' wicked heart.
Belle Madeleine is really a super human for that act of forgiveness to someone who hated her for no just reason and caused her pain.
Welcome back home Sir @vcelier and I'm glad you had a safe trip even if not as expected.
