The Quintin household was buzzing with excitement today. Geoffrey and his wife, Catherine, along with their daughter Magdalen, had come over. Sophia also brought along her boyfriend, Robin Ziegler; and to top it off, the fashionably late Jonathan and Estelle had just walked in. The entire living room was packed to the brim with family members and laughter.

As soon as Estelle and Jonathan arrived, they became the targets of Magdalen’s playful teasing. Old Mr. Jarvis, who was fond of both his children equally, watched the banter with a chuckle, while Old Man Quintin jumped to Estelle’s defense, “I’m just glad Estelle could make it. It’s an honor for me!”

He turned to Geoffrey, “Don’t be too hard on the youngsters!”

Geoffrey sipped his tea with a smile, “Only an enlightened and wise patriarch like Old Man Quintin could raise such a fine young woman like Estelle!”

Old Man Quintin laughed heartily, “Now, now, you can’t say that. Someone might get jealous!”

Old Mr. Jarvis scoffed from the side, “you got a bargain and acted coy, trying to pin the label of being narrow-minded on me!”

The room erupted into laughter.
