Violet sniffed and shot him a haughty look. "I should not be so quick to mock me, my son. I merely point out the truth. You should be down on your hands and knees thanking your maker every day that you don't to marry an heiress. Most men don't have the luxury of free will when it comes to marriage, you know."

"I can assure you of that."
