Summary
It's early in Mary's marriage to Dr. Watson, and she's helping him with his medical practice. She takes an interest in one of Watson's young women patients, and suggests that he consult with Holmes about finding answers to some of her pressing questions. Watson does--and everyone learns, or doesn't learn, more than they bargained for.
This story revisits the rather alarming facts of the ACD canon story "A Case of Identity," in which the villain romances his adult stepdaughter in order to prevent her from marrying someone else. Chronologically, it takes place between "One Page is Missing" and "O Paradis." I've placed it later than that in the series because it was written after the series was complete. Among other things it reveals how Mary Morstan came up with the idea for the Society for the Protection of Single Ladies.
One of the things being investigated here is just how far Mr. Windibank's fake courtship went. However, while sex is often implied or referenced in this story, it is never depicted.

Summary
Surely it would have been kinder to have told me of the falseness of Mr. Hosmer Angel straightaway? I might not have believed him at first, so consumed was I by the notion of my tragic romance, but I like to think that I am sensible enough to have followed his reasoning had he chosen to share it with me.
Mary Sutherland - she of the disappearing bridegroom - discovers what her stepfather has done and takes her life into her own hands.

Summary
Dearest,
I know this delay must have been hateful to you, but I really could not have written earlier. I dare hope that your joy will be all the greater as you read, at last, these long-anticipated words: I am free. It will be two or three days, I believe, before I can truly settle things here. But Friday morning, come what may, I shall take the 10:23am from Victoria Station, arriving at 3:41pm. Will you meet me at the station? Is it indiscreet? I could take a cab, and that would be more prudent. But oh, how I hate prudence! How you loathe it too! And how well--you dare not deny it--a little rashness becomes me! Can you deprive yourself of that heart-quickening first glimpse of me in my traveling costume, stepping bravely down from the train? I thought not. So I will, I must, see you at Walsall station on Monday, at 3:41pm precisely!
Ah, dearest, you would forgive all the giddiness of this letter--and much more besides--if you could have been in this house with me for these last few sorrowful weeks.
