Her answer came with risk. This was indeed a controversial statement on her part. Not many in polite society would agree to the full extent of what she was saying. But something in her said that he was not that kind of man, but one of more open mind. Was it something in his eyes or overall mannerism? She couldn't very well say. But she certainly knew how to read people, when she wanted to.
She listened closely, and an interest actually sparked in the conversation. Who said husband hunting couldn't lead to more than a triumphant match to rub in her snobbish family's faces?

Actually, that sounds rather magnificent. Do you plan for future travels?" Perhaps travelling the world and seeing all that could be seen would be a wonderful married life. And it would get her away from Cad.
