Can you Forgive Her Part III

Glencora keeps meeting Burgo at parties and Lady Monk encourages the romance.. but she feels guilty. However, Burgo asks her to run away with him and they could live as a couple abroad.. Eventually she tells Plantagenet that if they divorced, he could marry someone who might give him a son and who might make him happier than she has done. Plantagenet tells her that he has grown to love her, and that he would rather have her for his wife, even if they had no children, than another woman. She is touched and agrees to try and give their marriage another chance. Plantagenet is then offered a place in Government, but he chooses to give it up, so that he can take Glencora away on a trip to try and get to know each other better. He even agrees to take Alice with them. They go away and travel in Europe for some time, and Glencora grows fonder of him. In Germany however they meet Burgo, who has gone on a gambling trip through the continent, and has lost a lot of money in a casino. Plantagenet goes and talks to him and helps him out, offering to make him a small allowance. Glencora realises that while she will always have feelings for Burgo, Plantagenet is a good man and she has grown to love him... She thanks him for helping her former love, and then she discovers that she is pregnant. They go back to England and Alice marries John Grey, and Glencora has a son, who will be heir to the Dukedom.
