![]() ![]() He and Diana run away to hide her from the scandal of being jilted by Nick and the wrath of her father. Simon helps him out by going to Diana and telling her that Nick is marrying Violet and not her. When Nick decides in bk 7 "The Duke of Ice" to marry the love if his life Violet after he has made a dumb decision to marry Diana Kingman. He is just written so beautifully and he is so kind and compassionate. You know from bk 7 that it is impossible for Simon to have murdered his wife. But hiis best friend Nick The Duke of Ice sticks by his side and they keep there friendship close. So of course the dim witted members of the Ton believe the rumors. Simon can't remember anything except holding her at the bottom of the stairs and pleading with her not to die. Simon is ostracized because people believe he pushed his pregnant wife down a flight of stairs causing her death. Simon Hasting 12th Duke of Romsey is a pariah in the world of the Ton. I sort of fell in love with Simon in bk7 "The Duke of Ice" when he is first introduced as a character. ![]()
