The epilogues will be varying in style and not in a chronological order. One of them rated M, so you must change your filters to find it. I will post it as "Second Chances: Epilogues".
Epilogue 1. Patrick Turner and James Applebee Thornton, the latter learning some surprising stuff.
"James, you were right. Miss Mannion is to be married soon."
"Oh, that is good, Patrick. I have to congratulate Aubrey."
"Please, don't do that."
"Why? Surely we should wish them well? Do they wish to have this apartment?"
"I want to have this apartment."
"Oh, Patrick, that surely is not a right thing to do. Why would you want this apartment?"
"Because Shelagh Mannion is going to be married. To me."
James Applebee was stunned for a moment.
"To you?"
"Yes, to me. We have loved each other since 1941. A long attachment, wouldn't you say? No need to wait anymore."
"Oh Patrick. All the best to you. To both of you. Such a wonderful girl. But what about Aubrey?"
"He never had a snowball's chance in hell."
"Don't be so shamelessly self-confident," James laughed.
"Seriously, I have been informed by my fiancée...," this was a very good moment to use this expression, and he did that with pride, "that there is no truth in such rumours about them."
"All right, all right. I believe you. So, you wish to live here? How soon?"
"We have to negotiate that. What's a few apartments between brothers? This is such an important place for us, Nonnatus House. We have already spent a night here together."
"Patrick!"
"Oh, it was a long time ago and very chaste, to do with the air raids. "
He kept a theatrical pause. "But when two people take it into their heads to marry...what can you expect? When we have tied the knot, we will certainly spend a night here. Or at the Great Hall at the Clinic downstairs."
"Patrick, what are you talking about?"
