Aahahahahaha. That is such spectacularly bad writing courtesy of the worst book I've come across in months, Lauren Willing's The Secret of the Emerald Ring. Ring is part of Willig's mediocre at best series set in 1800s and dealing with English/French spies. Or at last that is what Willig would like you to believe - forget coherent plot, psychological sense, or anything of interest - they are just very very badly written romance novels and Ring is the worst of the bunch.
It features a plot a developmentally slow 5-yr-old could unravel, the most pointless hero and heroine I have ever come across (flat, 2-D, stupid, and clearly uneducated if they believe (and so does the author) things like Alexander the Great dying of old age). Oh, and let's not forget that the plot is all about how wonderful it is to thwart an Irish uprising for independence - duuuuuh, of course they are better off being opressed by the British.
There is absolutely nothing right with this book.
