“You resemble a drowned rat.” Nicholas chuckled as he watched Brandon join him in the study.

Brandon gave Nicholas a wry look as he ran a hand through his wet hair. “I was on the Deliverance meeting with Raven.” Brandon stared out the window. The bright sunny day had turned dismal and the rain was pouring down. It suited his mood. Taking off his damp coat, he draped it over a chair. “Farrington has been taking children from orphanages and off the streets for his own sick purposes. It is an ugly thing.” Brandon was sickened by the whole business and displeased that Cassandra was being dragged into the mess. It was another thing for him to worry about, even though Raven said he was handling the situation and had ordered Brandon to stay out of it and stay focused on his family.

“Anything I can do?” Nicholas frowned. Although not sure of what Brandon was talking about, he didn’t like the idea of children being abused.

“No, Nicholas. Raven is taking care of it. Besides we have more important things to worry about.” Brandon ran a frustrated hand through his wet hair. He wondered when things would go back to normal. Ever since consenting to help Joselyn, their lives had been turned upside down.

“What has happened now?” Nicholas inquired.

“Jonathan and Elizabeth have agreed to a marriage between Madeline and Alfred Farrington.” Brandon was infuriated. He had the same sentiment that Raven had when he told Brandon the news. Madeline would not be marrying a Farrington.

“What?” Nicholas was taken aback. “Madeline can’t marry Lord Alfred. She would be miserable. She hit the man for god’s sake.”

“Yes, well, he apparently liked her enough to make an offer or he liked her money,” Brandon replied with distaste.

Nicholas raised his chin in denial. “She can’t marry him. He is not good enough for her, Brandon.”

“No, he isn’t. And she won’t be marrying him,” Brandon proclaimed confidently.

“I will talk to Father. He can’t . . .”

Brandon interrupted him. “I will deal with it, Nicholas. I won’t allow the marriage, and once I point out my objections to our father, he will agree. I find it unlikely he is aware that Alfred is unsuitable or if he is even aware of the match. This is Elizabeth’s doing.” Brandon was furious at Elizabeth and her propensity to hurt Madeline. She had gone too far this time and had over-stepped her authority. Like it or not, he was head of this family and he had the final word, not her.

Nicholas nodded his head. “Yes, it sounds like Mother. She is desperate to get Madeline married. I can talk to Madeline and perhaps have her think about her options. There are a few men who would be good for her. Simon Malany and Garner Collins have both shown interest. Either of them would be good choices. It is time she marries, and once she is settled, Mother will be satisfied.”

Brandon looked at his brother in annoyance. “Leave Maddy alone, Nicholas. She will marry when the time is right and to the right man.
