Does anybody have any questions, comments, etc? AMA

While I feel that a lot of loose ends got tied up in the final few episodes, I daresay readers may still have a few questions about how certain things turned out? Or indeed about things that happened in existing text.

With a proviso that in some cases there may be [spoilers] involved with respect to snippets in process or projected.

O was going to ask after the F-'s, but I see you've already covered that. ❤

Does Docket ever retire? How well do they manage her health issues? And do she and Biddy Smith ever have a romantic entanglement, or are they just good friends?

What happens to Julius and Hannah? It sounds like Hannah at least stays attached to Clorinda and the F-'s for some time.

Is Milord ever forced to marry, or are he and Sandy able to be devoted "bachelors" forever?

(I imagine the question of whether C and Sandy ever do knock boots might be better left to fanfiction...)

I'm going to be so sad to have less excuse to use these icons, haha.

Docket would never retire! But towards the end she's mostly giving instructions to Sophy while lying down. On the Docket/Biddy Smith question, this remains in a Schrodinger state.

(As does Clorinda/Sandy.)

However, Milord is never obliged to marry.

Julius becomes a famed horticulturalist and botanist. His friendship with Essie continues into their adulthood.

Revelations forthcoming about Hannah.

Sophy, by the way, marries Sam Jupp.

I was going to ask about Sophy. I'm guessing Sam takes over managing the livery stable from his father?

Tibby and Titus? Also the other household staff?

See below for Tibby and Titus. Sam takes over the livery stable and Clorinda arranges matters so that he can buy it outright.

Hector and Euphemia remain in Clorinda's service, along with their offspring (although Patience trains as a nurse and also studies midwifery with Aunty Black), along with Dorcas and Prue. Nick Jupp takes over as groom after Ajax dies. Timothy marries Nell and they take over as landlords of the local alehouse, which becomes a good deal more reputable. Celeste marries outside the household.
