Victor feigned a pout. "Well, if all young women are as touchy about discussing the idea of marriage as you are, it's a wonder anyone has managed it at all. I don't know why the topic would be so completely off-limits," he complained. "It's essentially your career as a debutante. It isn't as though I get prickly when someone asks me about the hospital."
Granted, he might if things were going particularly poorly. Which led back to his original question, really: what had Miss Dempsey done to remain unmarried so long? From the sounds of things she didn't have particularly high standards. Had she scared them off somehow, or was there something about her that Victor hadn't yet discovered that made her unsuitable for companionship?
"Do you expect love poetry as a matter of course during a courtship or would flowers do?"
