CHARLES FIELDING
He
anticipated Jason and Victoria’s marriage by posting a
betrothal announcement in the Times.
***********
And then
suddenly a thought occurred to him. With narrowed eyes, he
contemplated it, mulled it over, studied it, and slowly, he
began to smile. “Dobson,” he said eagerly to his butler.
“Bring me quill and parchment. I want to write out a
betrothal announcement. See that it is delivered to the
Times at once.”
“Yes, your
grace.”
Charles
looked up at the old servant, his eyes burning with
feverish jubilation. “She was wrong, Dobson,” he
announced, “that old bitch was wrong!”
“Wrong,
your grace?”
“Yes,
wrong! She’s not going to pull off the most splendid match
in a decade. I am!”
***********
Still,
when he thought the two were taking a long time to get
married he shove everything by feigning an attack and
extracting a promise of a wedding from both Jason and
Victoria. He then gleefully informed Victoria’s
grandmother that it was all his plan when he was stumped
because the Dowager Duchess informed him that he has what
he wanted because she gave it to them.
