Mr. Reginald De Courcy—while a very distinguished flirt—was not in the habit of dispensing advice on affairs of the heart, certainly not at the club, and most especially not after his own recent engagement with Cupid’s arrows; but if only due to that shameful event, he felt compelled to warn the fellow sitting across from him of the dangers to be faced in such a venture:
“Keeping this secret will sink any pleasure you currently take in your family’s company, not to mention becoming ever harder to bear over time for both you and the lady, if she truly cares for you.”
“Oh, our engagement is nearly her own doing, there can be no doubt of her attachment,” Mr. Edward Ferrars assured him in a quiet voice, eyes wide and unseeing as only those in the snare of Venus could be.
