Edwina is unsurprised that Kate and Anthony are engaged, since she thought it obvious how smitten Anthony is with Kate. Upon returning to London, the Sheffields have callers every day, and most of them infuse their congratulations with rude speculation that Kate trapped Anthony on purpose. Violet assures her that even though the wedding is happening soon, no one will subject Kate to such rude insinuations once she is a Bridgerton.
Violet and Kate run errands for the wedding preparations, and two days before the ceremony is to take place, Anthony sends Kate a note asking her to be home that afternoon so he may visit her. Anthony explains that, although their marriage will be based on friendship and respect, it will not be about love. Kate is upset but conceals it well. Anthony presents Kate with a betrothal ring from the Bridgertons’ heirlooms, and places it on her finger. Anthony pulls Kate onto his lap for a kiss. Anthony removes the hat Kate is wearing—he tosses it to the floor, where Newton claims it and begins chewing it. Anthony says he will see her Saturday, the wedding day, since his mother believes it is bad luck for a bride and groom to see one another the day before their wedding.
