Once Upon a Christmas
“Elise asked the next morning after breakfast. “Mother will suspect something right off if she sees me spending time with the Cajun.”

“And besides,” Elise continued, “the Cajun seems to have adequate manners, even if he did practically drink his soup from his bowl last night. At least he managed to make p...olite conversation, just with a heavy dialect.”
In fact, Theo Galliano had seemed right at home eating the hearty meal served on the everyday casual china. He had slurped, of course, and he had almost belched just that once, but he hadn’t talked with his mouth full.

But he had stared a lot—that was indeed rude.MoreLess
