Yes, it took me a week to muster the willpower to read another chapter of this. This was tiresome, as expected: Britannia and Jake have two farewell dinners, because her holiday is almost over. She wears a lovely pink dress each time, which Jake appreciates. He even says kind things, and kisses her, but it doesn't matter because of Britannia's unaccountable obsession about Madeleine.
On her last afternoon, she rides her bike over to his house, to look at it again. She falls off the bike, and gets a mild concussion and a sprained ankle as a result. The bike falls on top of her - and yes, I know bicycles were heavier back in the day, but I still have a hard time taking this seriously. I'm not impressed with her inability to save herself; she just keeps fainting and crawling a bit until Jake comes and saves her. He somehow knows where she will be - must be a handy skill to have.
Well, at least something happened this chapter!
