Chapter 24
There was something written on the cream paper, and he picked it up and read the brief message.
Rushton,
As you can see from the newspaper clipping, your brother has become engaged. Suellen is a very lovely girl, perfect for Gratton, and I’m sure they will be very happy together.
Gratton and Suellen will be marrying in June of 2001. You will not be required to be in the wedding party. Gratton has enough friends to usher for him, and of course Emmett will be his best man. However, you will be expected to attend.
Of course. What would his parents’ circle of friends think if the youngest Dalton son wasn’t present at such an occasion?
You will need a tuxedo, andin spite of your obstinacy in choosing to go to that other college,your father has agreed to cover the cost of the rental. I trust you won’t disappoint us.
