The Delicate Dependency: A Novel Of The Vampire Life - Plot & Excerpts
We did not know it then, but we conceived a child that night. We were much too concerned with other things to suspect it. I was busy fashioning Camille into a proper wife. It took another two months of rigorous drilling to separate the last wheat from the chaff. It is difficult to say how Camille felt about the changes she had to undergo. It was obvious she wanted to live up to my expectations, for she accepted the constant corrections of her speech and manners calmly and courageously, but I sometimes suspected she was enduring more of an inner struggle than she let on. She had lost a little of her effervescence. On occasion her smile seemed just a bit forced. Still, all things considered, she adapted to her new life with amazing facility. Naturally, London society would never have tolerated such an intrusion of the classes, and so it was necessary to fabricate a mysterious past for Camille. There was a suggestion of a wealthy father dying when she was a child, an invalid and reclusive old aunt, an estate in Yorkshire.
