"Why do you sound so solemn? I just wanted to say that your brother is quite likable, I didn't mean to suggest he should get married." Viola Harris paused abruptly, then with a stunned look, she widened her eyes at Amelia Clarke, "You wouldn't be planning to have your brother get married, would you?"
Amelia Clarke did not hide anything, and candidly said: "If he could meet such a girl, I wouldn't object."
Viola Harris thought Amelia Clarke must have lost her mind. What kind of person was Mason Carter? He had an intellectual disability. No matter how beautiful, how good-looking, or how endearing he was, it couldn't cover up the fact of his disability. No one would have the courage to marry such a man.
It was a little past four in the afternoon when Viola Harris proposed to leave. Amelia Clarke wanted to keep her for dinner, but when Viola said she had plans with friends that evening, Amelia did not insist.
