   Summary

   What if Penelope isn't forced out early or Lady Whistledown?
   What if Colin realises he's in love with Penelope sooner - before she's officially out soon?
   How much will Colin meddle, as he won't be able to banter in ballrooms with Pen?
   Will there be a Marina situation?
   Will Colin still travel?
   What happens when the Viscount is looking to take a wife?
   Who will Lord Debling end up with?
