So, for her to kind of end up getting married off rather quietly to a guy who reallyreallyreally wanted a mother for his children. I am ridiculously upset that Eloise got stuck with a piece of shit like Sir Phillip, when all of her siblings get wonderful husbands (I assume). And the worst thing is, he succeeds in his emotional manipulation, because she cries and they make love and whatnot.
