It seemed a little ridiculous. It was a custom that hadn't been practiced in nearly 200 years. A man asking permission to spend time with a young woman. Of course during Henry's youth, the lady would be chaperoned by her parents until after the engagement. This was a completely different time. There were, however, some customs that Henry felt needed to be followed, even if he was the only one that did. He dressed casually, at least for him, deciding on a dress shirt and sweater rather than suit and tie. He made sure not to arrive so early as to wake everyone up but also not so late as to risk interrupting a nap. With a deep breath, Henry knocked on the door. |
