Summary
Upon his return from travels, Colin was quite amused to learn that his eldest brother, the Viscount, had embarked upon the quest for a wife. His amusement reached new heights one fateful day when he accidentally stumbled into his brother’s study. There, laid out with precision, was an extensive list of questions—more aptly described as an interrogation—designed to evaluate debutantes and select the most suitable candidate for matrimony. Colin had laughed heartily and dismissed the list as an absurd overreach of formality.
Yet, as fate would have it, this light-hearted moment took an unexpected turn during the family’s afternoon tea, Colin overheard, with mounting alarm, his brother Anthony posing one of these exacting queries to Penelope Featherington.
Panic seized Colin with an urgency that left him breathless. Without a second thought, he burst into the room, his expression a storm of resolve and desperation. “Anthony,” he declared, “these questions are wholly unsuitable! I cannot allow them, for I am to court Miss Penelope Featherington myself!” His declaration echoed through the room, leaving a stunned silence in its wake and a ripple of intrigue among the assembled guests.
