Chapter 124 Matchmaking

A quick glance at the time showed that it was already three in the morning, so he wondered why she might be calling at this ungodly hour.

Vinson answered blandly wearing a frown on his face. “What is it?”

Vinson replied with indifference, “I was at a dinner and had a little too much to drink, so I’ll be putting up at a hotel tonight.”

The Greenes’ young lady seems to be of good breeding and is highly educated, and not bad looking as well. Their whole family would be returning to Horington tomorrow so you must come have a look at her right away!”

 

Vinson sounded a little impatient. “I’ve no plans to get married these few years, so don’t bother introducing women to me.”
