“What do you mean?” said Violet.
“He fought in the war,” replied Angelina. “He might fall apart, fly off the handle, go off the rails…”

“I intend to marry her,” he said, without turning around.
“Not if I have any say in it.”
“What makes you think she will listen to you? You have nothing to offer her. I have enough funds to provide for a wife and family. I could take her to Italy, to Venice. She could perform with the best musicians in the world.”

“You will have to walk over my corpse.

“I was trying to help you,” said Angelina, her cheeks warming.
Violet folded her arms and gave her a look.

“You won’t have to,” replied Violet. “He’ll be back.
