Mail Order Josephine - a Historical Mail Order Bride Novel (Western Mail Order Brides)
“They returned to the hotel for lunch, full of friendly and cheerful chatter about anything and everything, but at the dining room door, the hotel clerk accosted them, waving a folded paper in his hand.
“Message for you, Ma’am,” he addressed Aunt Agatha.
Aunt Agatha took the proffered paper with a crisp “Thank you,” to the clerk and carried it with her, unopened, into the dining room. She tucked it next to her plate and gave it no further notice until their food arrived.
“Aren’t you ...going to read the message?” Josephine suggested at last.
Almost reluctantly, Aunt Agatha picked up the paper and unfolded it. Josephine scarcely breathed while she read the writing. “It’s from Mr. Paul Stockton, Sr.”
“What does he want?” Josephine panted.
“He invites us to dinner tomorrow afternoon,” Aunt Agatha related. “He says he’ll send his boy to pick us up in the gig at half past three in the afternoon.”MoreLess
