This wasn't as uneventful as the last chapter, but it was close. Rijk owns a farm, so they go to see it - I'm not absolutely sure that he owns the farm house, so this isn't house #3, but it could be. They go to Groningen for no apparent reason, except that Betts might have needed padding (this book has relatively little plot, after all), and so that Sophie could say that she doesn't like heights. I'll be surprised if nothing comes of that - usually, when Betts heroines reveal a fear, they have to confront it later in the book (never for a good reason, by the way).
They travel back to England just before Christmas. Sophie spends most of the chapter on the verge of telling Rijk that she'll marry him, but it takes her days to say it.
They set a wedding date for mid-January and start preparing for the wedding. Rijk dives into a pile of work, presumably so he'll have time for Sophie later. Sophie starts thinking about wedding clothes. It's a small wedding, so of course she'll wear a winter-white or grey suit. Heaven forbid she wear a wedding dress! Very strange.
At the very end of the chapter, Sophie realizes she is is love with Rijk.
