No congratulations, no surprise or gratitude that his daughter would marry a marquis. Just a simple statement that Sir Henry Stern gave Lord Merton permission to wed his daughter, Miss Dorothea Stern. Dom wasted no time sending the announcement to the Morning Post by one of his running footmen. For some reason, seeing it in the newspaper would make it less likely anything could stop the marriage. Later that morning, Worthington sent over the first proposal of the marriage settlements. As Dom broke open the seal, he was surprised to find he was actually looking forward to finalizing the agreements and getting on with his wedding, even if his uncle would have considered it ill-bred haste. Most couples did not wait long to marry. Worthington hadn’t. However, the more he read of the draft, the angrier he became. Preposterous! No. It was worse. The damned thing was an insult. What the hell was Worthington about suggesting that Thea keep all her property in a trust for her use only in addition to receiving an allowance?
