As the pair came downstairs together, David tried to have a heart-to-heart talk with Celina. “By the way, you’ve turned 22 this year. Time to find me a good son-in-law, don’t you think? Got anyone in your mind yet?”
“What’s the hurry, Dad? It’s not like I’ve ever been short of admirers,” Celina replied shyly.
However, David said earnestly in a grave tone, “No, you’d better hurry, Celina. If you keep on being choosy, you’ll end up becoming an old spinster. The older a lady gets, the less worthy she becomes. If you keep playing for time, you’ll only get to choose from whoever is left. The guy you mentioned last time, Kenneth Bailey, I think he’s pretty nice. I’d rest assured if you could marry him.”
“Oh, Dad, you’re making fun of me again!”
“No, I’m not making fun of you at all. If you’re determined to marry no one else but him, I’ll go to him on your behalf and ask him if he’d like to marry you. Whoever takes the initiative doesn’t matter. If you don’t grab the opportunity when a good candidate for a husband comes across, someone else’s gonna steal him from you.”
