You, my dear, have received an offer of marriage. A what? An offer from an incredibly wealthy gentleman with an old and prestigious title. Good heavens. What I cannot fathom is why the Duke has settled on you. The Duke of Kilda has asked for my hand in marriage. Quite specifically. I do not believe a word of it.

After all, I do not know his grace, or any grace for that matter. Mr. Lankus, I am requesting a hand of your eldest daughter in marriage. I am prepared to settle upon your three remaining daughters, twenty thousand each for their dowries, and fifty thousand upon yourself for the sake of your sons. The ceremony will take place October the 1st at the Fulston Chapel.

Please reply as to your intentions. It is certainly not the most romantic nor flattering of proposals, to be sure. The ceremony will take place. There is not the slightest acknowledgement that the unforeseen offer might be declined. This offer amounts to more than a hundred thousand pounds. you
