Sherman said, "A date? Didn't you tell Grandfather you were going to propose to the Williams family?"

Sellers replied, "Grandfather said the Williams family hasn't agreed, and there's been no formal engagement with our family. So it doesn't count."

"Don't get me started. I don't know what's gotten into Grandfather lately-he's been so muddle-headed.

Sherman hesitated, then added, "Now, she's got Grandfather so charmed that even I—his own grandson-don't compare in his eyes.
