A quick glance at the time showed that it was already three in the morning, so he wondered why she might be calling at this ungodly hour.
Vinson answered blandly wearing a frown on his face. “What is it?”
Susanne’s displeasure seeped through the receiver from the other end. “Didn’t I tell you to come home earlier tonight? I have Mrs. Greene over for cards and have held her back until now, so why aren’t you back yet?”
Vinson replied with indifference, “I was at a dinner and had a little too much to drink, so I’ll be putting up at a hotel tonight.”
Susanne’s voice elevated several notches. “Dinner? Don’t you start bringing some loose woman back from there! The Greenes’ young lady seems to be of good breeding and is highly educated, and not bad looking as well. Their whole family would be returning to Horington tomorrow so you must come have a look at her right away!”
