Would you tellsomeone whose marriage proposal you had turned down a couple of years ago that you had been wrong and were in love with them? ( Despite the fact that he is now engaged to someone else)

[mrsruffallo]

He is also my cousin, and heir to the family inheritance.
What would you do?

No

Completely lost on this thread.

OMG How do you all know about Pamoooook!!!!!!!!

The Walls have ears Lady Edith blabbed

I think your newspaper man is about to turn nasty with you OP.

And you are part of the aristocracy. Marrying your cousin to keep the family seat is practically law!

Go for it.

mrsruffallo you want to marry your cousin you are very likely that
Your children will be born very poorly as happen with in the Muslim and gypsy groups

Interbreeding is not the done thing

but is it better or worse than running off with the chauffeur, or having an affair with a married farmer?

or an American.

An American??

I'm afraid OP half the village/London knows about poor Mr Pamooooook. That O'Brien's a nasty piece of work and don't even get me started on your Dad's ex valet's ex.

I wouldn't trust Edith either. Or that Thomas. Just saying.
