Chapter 7 Summary: “22nd September”

Emily, Wendell, and Ariadne traverse the areas depicted on de Grey’s maps and manage to locate 14 faerie doors, yet none prove to be Wendell’s. When Wendell expresses his full trust in Emily’s ability to find his door, she gives a half-answer to his proposal: She should like to see his kingdom firsthand before she decides whether to marry him. Wendell tells Emily of his cat, Orga, and claims she’s what he misses most about his realm. He tenderly brushes back a piece of Emily’s hair and admits he’d like to relive this moment over and over again.

Emily and Ariadne wish to remain out past nightfall, but Wendell forces them back to town for their own safety after warning Emily not to “take the danger so lightly” (100). When Ariadne removes a flower from a faerie offering back in town, Emily scolds her of the danger, which prompts the chided Ariadne to speak only to Wendell on the trek to their cottage. Their findings are begrudgingly approved of by Rose, who apologizes for his behavior and promises to defer to Emily’s leadership from now on. As the others settle in for the night, Rose speaks to Emily about Wendell.
