"Oh!" Art said, brightening, as if this whole thing had an easy solution. "I, uh, actually talked to her the other day. Mrs. Perpetua Creighton. She said yes. If you want."

That Art had also spoken to Mr. Florizel Collins-Potter was probably a story that he should tell later. Or never. Never might be his best idea, there, seeing as he already had a very poor Responsibility Track Record where this situation was concerned and speaking to the wrong person was not the sort of thing that instilled confidence.

(Of course, neither was knowing Arthur as a person, so.)
