Book Excerpt for the Day


    “Before I left England, my father received a letter from Grandda telling him not to worry, for my grandfather was making a vow to find me a husband.  You, sir, seem to be the candidate for groom.”

    Matthew smiled broadly at the nonsense of that last sentence, but when Berry’s face remained steadfastly serious he felt his smile collapse.  “That’s ridiculous!”

    “I’m glad we’re of a single mind on the subject.”

    “I don’t plan on being married to anyone, anytime soon.”

    “And before I marry I plan on making a living from my art.”

    An impoverished spinster for life, Matthew thought.
