Present Day
Since the death of his father in March 1810, Kenward has been dealing with his father's creditors and looking into the family's finances, determined to do what he can to cut back on expenses. This has involved selling off a minor estate, which had not been used by the family in several years, as well as renting out some other property. He has come to London in order to put the family's town house (Coniston House, 4 Grosvenor Square) into better order with the possibility of renting it out in the future if he does not marry this year.
He is currently staying at Albany with his valet, the only member of his household staff to accompany him to Town.
