Honestly, it was just like his brother to make a rash, inconsiderate decision to announce the change of his marital status when such things should be planned for years not days and what else did he expect from Jamie when even the announcement of their marriage was delivered as suddenly as this and didn't anyone in his family have any sense when it came to taking sensible, thought-through actions and did it have to be announced on the date of Uncle George's...

Al made a sudden noise and stabbed himself in the eye with the feather part of the quill when attempting to push up the non-existent glasses on his nose.
"Hmph."
He peered at the main offender, the letter, and penned his reply.
