Ozymandias couldn't help but roll his eyes at the mention of an old French fairy tale. "Nothing so theatrical," he responded. This was a very Dempsey concern to have about an upcoming marriage, he supposed, but the odds that Daphnel was secretly a murderous villain were practically nonexistent. Even if that was the sort of thing that happened regularly in this day and age, Daphnel hardly seemed like the sort who would have the stomach for it. No, Oz didn't fear for his sister's safety or comfort in her upcoming marriage. He was more afraid that she would find the novelty of it wearing off too soon, leaving the relationship stale and boring — which, for someone like his sister, might have been worse than being murdered on her wedding night.
"I just — don't think he loves you," Oz said almost delicately. He had no particular proof of this, just a suspicion. She had been out for years and he had been here in England, doing — not much of anything as far as society was concerned, apparently. If he had any depth of feeling towards Christabel, surely it would have come about sooner than his courtship and proposal had. Victor Daphnel wasn't a hermit, nor was he blind or deaf — if he was going to fall in love with Christa, he ought to have done it earlier.
