SYNOPSIS |
|
One guest whom Lavina was particularly pleased to see afterwards at the reception was Oliver's son, her cousin Roy, He was the bad hat of the family and had spent the best part of the last ten years roving about in the Far East, earning a precarious living in a variety of rather dubious ways ; but he was a good-natured, amusing person and Lavina had always been fond of him.
When he managed to get her to himself for a moment he laughingly congratulated her upon having been clever enough to find such a good-looking millionaire for a husband.
"You're over thirty so it's time you settled down yourself, Roy," she laughed back at him.
"No one will have me," he grinned.
"I don't believe it." Her glance took in his bronzed, attractive face with the fair, wavy hair above it. "You haven't lost your looks and you always were a devil with the women !"
