Smoke burned his lungs. It rose around him in bellowing waves, fed by the numerous fires in the surrounding rain forest. It  had been a long, hard-fought battle, but it was over, and he was done. Most of the main house was gone, but he's managed to save the homes of the people who served them. Few lives were lost, but each one was mourned--but not by hum. He stared at the flames with hollow eyes. He felt nothing. He looked on the faces of the dead, honorable men who had served his family well, saw their weeping widows and their crying children, and he felt--nothing.

Lisette dashed away fresh tears. Well, she would never be so foolish. First chance she got, she would make her own way in this world, no matter what it took. She wasn't going through this kind of betrayal ever again.

I feel bad for her but what exactly does a female in 1828 England do when she is the illegitimate daughter of a dead Viscount and there is no support from the current Viscount?
