#Josephine landgraab

[simsforks]

Josephine and Raymond got married right at the start of Summer. The ceremony was attended by their friends and family, and the couple shared their first kiss at the altar. Josephine was happy, but couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness that her older sister wasn't there to celebrate with them.

The wedding was great fun for everyone, especially Blaire and Cornelius who had never been to any kind of wedding before. They felt very grown-up, mingling with all the adults and cheering for the happy couple alongside everyone else.

Everyone watched as Josephine and Raymond shared their first dance. It was Josephine's mother, Nellie, who played the piano. The day was filled with so much joy for everyone.

Even Blaire and Cornelius got to dance as well. They tried their hardest to replicate the steps, and even though it probably didn't look as elegant as when Josephine and Raymond danced, they felt as though they were the only people in the room.

Malcolm came by to Josephine to finally talk to her and reconnect. She told him about how she felt after their parents passed away. The way that she thought she was a burden to Malcolm who had to rule the Landgraab empire in his early 20s.

Decades Challenge 1890s Update #5

Several hours after Cynthia's doctor's appointment it was time to head to the park for the picnic Josephine had been invited to. Cynthia had announced that she was far too tired for a social event, so she'd volunteered to remain home with Kenneth, so that left Daniel and Josephine to attend. Daniel was rather unhappy at the idea of having to escort his younger sister to a social event, even one as laid back as this, but Josephine was excited.

She took a moment or so to glance around the park looking for Theo, or any sign of his family members, the fire red hair of either his mother or his sister, but Josephine didn't spot any members of the Alden family. Instead, she spotted a group of girls about her age gossiping in the grass near the edges of the park. Josephine liked the idea of making more friends, so she approached the girls.

The girls stopped talking as soon as Josephine approached. "Hello, I'm Josephine Williams. I just recently moved back to Willow Creek and wanted to introduce myself," she said politely.

"You're Mr. Williams younger sister?" The brown-haired girl noted, and Josephine nodded. "I'm Luna Villareal, and these are my friends Dina and Nina Caliente."

"Your names rhyme," Josephine observed. An amused look passed between Luna, Nina and Dina as they tried to repress their laughter.

"Please sit," Luna finally said. "We were just talking about my wedding at the end of the summer to Malcolm Landgraab."

"Are you not a bit young to be getting married?" Josephine asked hesitantly.

"Oh please," Luna scoffed. "I age up at the end of the summer. My Dad promised me to the Landgraab's when I was a child. I've basically been engaged to Malcolm for as long as I can remember."

"Do you love him?" Josephine asked.

"Watcher, no," Luna laughed. "But he's rich."

"What about love?" Josephine wondered aloud. "Do you not want to marry a man you love?"

Nina spoke up first, "Love doesn't exist. We as women just need to make sure to marry a wealthy man so we can be taken care of for the rest of our lives."

Josephine contemplated Nina's words as the girls continued to talk about boys. She was sure love existed; her parents had been in love. Her father was not a wealthy man when they'd gotten married, and her mother had been advised against marrying him and yet she'd done it anyways. That had to have been because they were in love, right?

"Do you have an understanding with anyone yet?" Dina asked curiously pulling Josephine out of her own head.

"I haven't had the chance to meet very many people other than the Alden family," Josephine admitted. "I do think I'd consider myself friends with Theo Alden, although we definitely do not have an understanding."

"All the Alden boys are so cute!" exclaimed Dina. "Too bad the only one worth marrying is socially inept."

"What do you mean?" Josephine asked curiously. Theo had not mentioned much of his brothers.

Before anyone could reply Luna called out, "avert your eyes and maybe she won't see us?"

"Who?" Josephine asked.

"Just avert your eyes," Nina snapped. Josephine turned around to see a girl dressed in all black walking towards them. She waved the girl over with a smile on her face.

"Why'd you have to do that?" Luna grumbled. "Cassandra Goth is so weird."

"So, Cassandra, I heard your family just returned from Selvadorada," Luna's voice quickly changed as soon as Cassandra sat down. It was clear that she did not enjoy Cassandra's company.

"We did," Cassandra replied and began telling the group about her families adventures. Nobody really seemed to be listening other than Josephine who actually found Cassandra's stories interesting.

"I'd hate to go to Selvadorada," Dina interrupted. "The humidity would just ruin my hair. I bet you didn't mind though; your hair always looks terrible."

"And all the bugs, and dirt, gross," Luna said. "You probably felt right at home though, in all that filth."

Nina and Dina both laughed.

If there was one thing Josephine didn't like, it was bullies.

"I was actually rather enjoying Cassandra's stories," Josephine told the girls. "Selvadorada seems like a very interesting place, and I'd love to hear more about it."

"Oh please," Luna rolled her eyes.

Josephine turned towards Cassandra, "Would you like to go elsewhere?" she asked. "I want to hear more about your travels, and it might be peaceful away from people who aren't as unkind as these three."

"Let's go," Cassandra agreed.

"Excuse me?" Luna exclaimed, but Josephine and Cassandra got up and left without another word leaving Luna to feel quite aggravated by their conversation.

"Can you believe her?" Luna scoffed.

"So, tell me more about your trip. My father intended to take me to Selvadorada, but he unfortunately passed before we had the chance," Josephine told Cassandra.

"They're going to be extremely rude to you going forward," Cassandra warned her.

Josephine shrugged, "My brother is quite rude. I think I'm rather used to it. I don't like unkind people. My mother used to always say that you never know what someone is going through, so you should always treat others with kindness."

"Your mother sounds like a very nice woman," Cassandra noted.

"She was," Josephine smiled to herself.

Josephine and Cassandra continued to talk, that is until Josephine spotted a flash of red hair out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see that the Alden family had finally arrived, but Josephine was left quite disappointed to not see Theo among them.

"Is everything alright?" Cassandra asked concerned.

"Theo Alden promised we'd talk at the picnic today and it appears he hasn't shown," Josephine said.

"From what I recall Mr. Alden is not fond of social events," Cassandra told her.

"You know the Alden's?"

Cassandra's face turned a bit red, "I suppose I have an understanding with Theo's older brother, Benjamin. We correspond is all, he plays the violin, as do I. He's mentioned in his letters that his youngest brother does not enjoy social events. He'd rather stay home a read."

"He promised he's come though, we were going to discuss a book together," Josephine said quietly.

Cassandra shrugged, "I'm unsure then, perhaps he got into some trouble. I believe Theo has a knack for that as well."

Despite the fact that Theo didn't show, Josephine continued to talk with Cassandra. She was quite happy to have made a friend. Cassandra told her more about her understanding with Ben Alden, and how she was keeping it a secret from her father who wouldn't approve because although the Alden's were a respectable family, they were not nearly as wealthy as some others in Willow Creek, and Cassandra's father seems to want his daughter to marry well.

"He just doesn't understand," Cassandra was telling Josephine. "Ben has so many good ideas for their family business, he wants to expand it out of Willow Creek which would at the very least double their family's income, he's just waiting on his father to let him have full managerial control."

Josephine even told Cassandra about what it was like having grown up in a big city such as San Myshuno.

Much later that night, Josephine had finished the remainder of her chores and had just begun reading a new book before bed. Suddenly she heard a rattling near her window and was startled to see Theo pushing it open.

"Theo!" She gasped. "This is very inappropriate, I'm in my nightclothes, what if someone saw you?"

"My apologies, Josie," Theo said to her. "And nobody saw me, I made sure of that. But I did promise you we'd discuss that book, didn't I? "

"Yes, at the picnic," Josephine replied irritated. "The picnic you did not show up for."

Theo quickly explained the argument he'd gotten into with his father, and how he'd not been allowed to go to the picnic as punishment. "I'm not even allowed to come and visit you."

"But you're here right now," Josephine observed.

"Yes, well I am a man of my word, and I promised we'd discuss the book, so that is why I am here," Theo smiled at her.

For the next few hours Josephine and Theo entered into a heated discussion about the book they'd recently read. By the end of their conversation, they had both agreed upon a new book to read, and that Theo would be back in one week to discuss their thoughts once more.

That is all for today! I did give 1890s makeovers to all Willow Creek townies, as well as most of the townies from Oasis Springs, and to the Villareal family. I also moved all made over townies to Willow Creek for context.

Meet the Goths!! 🖤

Yes, that’s Bella, and... a dead Mortimer.

So yeaaaaaaah, Mort’s dead, along with like, a handful of my other townies (mentioned in a previous post of mine). But Bella doesn’t mind, because with the power of Teleport Any Sim communicating with the dead (because come on, her last name is Goth), I imagine she can just call forth his spirit and interact with him like the good old days. However, as he seems to no longer recognize her as his wife (although she does still consider him a “romantic interest”), it’s up to Bella to build their relationship back up so she can help him remember everything. Hopefully, he’ll be added to their household in the future!!

As for their kids, here’s what’s been up with them:

Here comes Cassandra now! She’s just come back from work as a manual laborer... despite having the “lazy” trait, no joke. She used to be an adult, but I’ve aged her down to a young adult, and... wait, who are those other people??

Yeah, just like Katrina Caliente and the Landgraabs from my cursed Caliente-Landgraab family (see link above), Bella and Mortimer got busy.

The girl in the green sweater is Cassandra’s younger sister, Larissa! She’s seen here with their other sister, Isabel. They’re both young adults like Cass, but they were just kids when they moved with their older sister to this new place (mostly because their parents were having way too many kids back at Ophelia Villa, their original home).  The infants are actually Larissa’s adopted daughters (yes, yet another sim who can’t stop having/adopting kids...)! The one with the green outfit being held by Isabel is named Josephine, and the one with the cute buns looking sad is Rebecca. I imagine Isabel likes playing auntie and enjoys helping her sister take care of her babies, considering she intentionally, mind you has her hands full. Also, both babies seem to really struggle with being put down. They literally cry the second they’re on the ground and complain like Karens over how DARE their adoptive mothers not carry them anymore. 😤

Isabel has an adopted daughter of her own named Kristyn.

Oh, and did I mention she’s ass at cooking!?

And I’ve already talked about her in my previous post about the Caliente-Landgraab family, but newborn Fernanda - the youngest member of this household - is Cassandra’s daughter with Gideon Landgraab (a non-canonical townie). 

Now then, onto Cass’s little brother, Alexander-

Actually, the less said about him, the better... *cringes* He hasn’t went and fathered any kids yet though, so I guess that’s the only good thing he’s got going for him.

Let’s head back to Ophelia Villa for a second, because Bella has some kids of her own living with her (probably to fill the voids that Cassandra and Alexander - and by extension Mortimer - left behind)!

From left to right, we have Jena, Dominik (with the curly black hair and bangs being blocked with the flower), Aron (black sweater), Jody (in the front with the brown hair facing away from us), and Kasey (grey shirt)! Kasey’s age meter bar thingy is actually full and glowing, so it seems like he will become a teenager soon!! Dominik, Aron, and Kasey were actually fathered by Mortimer (with Bella before he kicked the bucket) while Jena and Jody were adopted by Bella after he died.

Finally, we have these two, who Bella also had with Mortimer before he died (also I haven’t put them anywhere in my world though because honestly I’m lazy and I literally don’t even care about them lmao). On the left with the bad hairdo is Jaiden while the guy on the right is Tim. Honestly, I think in hindsight it’s a good thing they’re “currently not in world” because they’re hot messes; Jaiden’s an evil kleptomaniac while Tim is lazy and hates children (now that I think about it, Jaiden was probably the first to move out while Tim quickly followed him because his siblings are children 😂). 

So overall, my Goth family isn’t as cursed as my Caliente-Landgraab dynasty, but they’re still kinda wildin. Let’s just hope Bella can bring ghost Mortimer back into her life.

Ivanov Seniors Graduate!

Ivanov Seniors experienced a bittersweet day today, even more so than any usual High School Graduation, as over the celebrations and festivities hung a black cloud of doom.

After the conference officially announcing that the Empire was at war with Windenburg, all foreign students were immediately sent back to their respective countries and families- except for the graduating seniors, who were allowed to stay a few more weeks in order to complete their courses and celebrate this momentous milestone.

Ivanov Graduating Class

Lady Josephine Arrington celebrated her big day with her parents, Princess Natasha and Jamie Arrington, Duke and Duchess Eastmeadow, and her younger brothers, Theodore, Marquess Branmar, and Christopher, Earl Maymour. Lady Josephine will be continuing her education at Britechester University where she plans to major in Ballet Performance, and one day transfer to the Royal Ballet Academy and follow in her parents' footsteps.

Miss Wren Hathaway was joined by her mother, Megan Ivanov, Duchess Arnsey, her step-father, Prince Nickolai Ivanov, her step-sister, Princess Victoria Yang, and her husband, Lord Louis Yang. Miss Hathaway will be joining her friend and cousin, Lady Josephine, at Britechester University, where she will be studying pre-med, in the hopes of also following in her mother's footsteps and one day becoming a pediatrician.

Prince Grant Ivanov proved his naysayers wrong when he walked across the stage with a perfect 4.0 GPA, and celebrated his accomplishment with his father and step-mother, Prince Yuri and Kacie Ivanov, Earl and Countess Thornleigh, and his little sister, Princess Alexandria Ivanov. Prince Grant has chosen to defer his enrollment to Britechester University in favor of volunteering for active military service. When he does return to college, he will be majoring in Criminal Justice Advocacy.

Only a few short months after she had transfered to IRA from a school in Komorebi, Miss Reyna Medieros, the ambassadress' daughter, graduated with top marks despite the chaos of changing schools mid-year. She was joined by her parents, Mr. Ignas and Ambassador Samantha Medieros, as well as her younger brother, Ricardo Medieros. Miss Medieros will be attending Foxbury Institute for her first year of college, and hopes one day to transfer to Mount Komorebi University to continue her studies in Komorebian Culture and Diplomacy.

Crown Princess Claude Pelletier shocked no one when she made Valedictorian- and celebrated this huge accomplishment with her mother, Queen Regent Genevieve, and little brother, King Adam Pelletier. The Queen Regent was heard telling the Dauphine that her father was "there in spirit, and so, so proud." Crown Princess Claude will be joining Lady Josephine and Miss Hathaway at Britechester University, where she plans to double major in Foreign Languages and World History.

His Lordship, Viscount Beckham Landgraab, walked across the stage in front of his parents, Princess Carolin and Soren Landgraab, Duke and Duchess Clovervale, and his older sister, Lady Brianne. The Viscount is choosing to defer his collegiate experience until after the war and instead has volunteered for the Oasis Springs Military Service. After the war, he plans to attend "whatever school Malie ends up at" but wherever he goes, he'd like to study Music Performance.

Princess Malie celebrated her culture by wearing a Sulani Lei as she walked across the stage, in honor of her mother, grandmother, and younger sister who could not be at her graduation. Sulani is one of the island nations in the Southern Sea currently being occupied by Windenburgian Naval Forces. But Malie did not celebrate alone. She was able to be joined by her paternal Aunt and Uncle, Queen Misha and King Cesare Colona, and grandfather, Prince Widower Alfonso Colona, all three of whom currently reside in Glimmerbrooke. Princess Malie will be continuing her education at Britechester University for the duration of the war, then plans to transfer to the Chieftain's International University in Sulani when she's able to. She hopes to double major in Sulani History and Mythology, and Sports Medicine.

Retirement 101: Ep 1

In which Grandpa George drinks Light Tea & Grandma Josephine drinks Dark Tea.

Upon arriving at the Humor & Hijinks Festival Grandpa George had a terrible case of cotton mouth. He tried to think when he last had a drink but nothing came to mind. 

On his way to the bar he noticed a fountain of liquid to his left, there was a small hand written note leaning against the base of the fountain which read, Light Tea. He clumsily pushed the glass into the yellow shimmering liquid, completely submerging it. ‘Bottoms up!’ he said before taking a big long drink.

Grandma Josephine knew exactly which Tea fountain she was going to drink from. She’d always known she had a dark side, well it wasn’t a dark side as such but more a mischievous playful side.

‘Isn’t this great Jose!’ said Grandpa George. ‘Gee whiz, I was so parched before but now, this Tea, there’s something in it that has really given me a boost!’

‘Yes, George. It’s a special Tea,’ said Grandma Josephine.

‘I feel like I could run a marathon, I’m feeling that good!’ beamed Grandpa George.

‘Settle down George, it’s not that type of Tea,’ said Grandma Josephine. ‘Remember what happened the last time you tried to run a marathon.’ 

‘Oh Josie honey, you have nothing to worry about,’ said Grandpa George. ‘I’m way too over the hill for that now.’ 

With Grandpa George taking up a conversation with the young woman sitting at their table Grandma Josephine took the opportunity to get up and mingle, or more so, scare the living daylights out of one of the other festival patrons. 

As well as trick another with a hand buzzer.

After finishing his Tea Grandpa George eventually got up to mingle as well and came across a proper celebrity.

‘Omg, it’s you! It’s really you! I can’t believe it!’ He said totally gushing over the young woman. ‘Wow! Can I have your autograph, I mean, please!?’ 

The young woman had no hesitation and whipped out a photo of herself, signed it and then handed it over to Grandpa George, who was in absolute awe.

Grandma Josephine was on a roll and couldn’t stop herself. After chatting with Nancy Landgraab she then slapped her silly a few times. It was very exhilarating for her to do this, especially to Nancy, and she was sure that this was a once in a lifetime moment.

Grandpa George ran excitedly over to his wife to tell her all about the proper celebrity he had just met. They then decided to rest their old bones and grab some dinner from one of the festival food stalls.

Grandma Josephine purchased a festival T-shirt for them both, to help them remember the fun they had since their neither of their memories were as good as they used to be.

Several hours later and the festival was coming to a close. At the end of every festival there was always fireworks and they both craned their necks trying to look up at them.

‘I’m going to bed George, good night,’ said grandma Josephine giving her husband a kiss on the cheek.

‘Good night my darling. I’ll be up in a bit too.’

‘How fun was the festival!’ said Grandpa George to his wife as she began walking up the stairs.

‘It was exhilarating George, probably the most fun I’ve had that I can remember,’ said Grandma Josephine.

‘Glad you had fun. Sweet dreams my darling.’ said Grandpa George.

End note: Not sure what my posting scheduling will be, at the moment I’m just having fun and not putting any pressure on myself. But I do hope to post either weekly or fortnightly. :)

The Britechester Siblings

Continuing with our series on the siblings of the nobility, here is the Britechester siblings: HRH Prince Leon, Duke of Britechester and HRH Princess Josephine, Duchess of San Myshuno.

 Grandchildren of HM King Henry and first cousins to the Current King, Francisco, the Britechester siblings are a force in their own right. Born to Prince Josef, the younger child of King Henry, the two hold the HRH for being male-line grandchildren of the Monarch (though both were born after King Henry’s death.)

 Earlier this year, Leon inherited the Title of Duke of Britechester from their late father and Josephine married the third Duke of San Myshuno from the noble Feng family. 

Through their mother’s side, the pair are related to the Baron Reinerman-Fink. Josephine’s married relations also includes titles in the Kealoha and Landgraab families.

As blood members of the Royal Family, both wear the Order of the Dragon, Viverra’s highest order.

I was working on a legacy family and after 30 plus great grandchildren in I accidentally overwrote my game. 😢 So I decided to start over and give my children's love interests family stories as well. I created Sims for their 3 children to date in my orginal. The mother is Josephine, father Sylas, oldest daughter pink sweater Hilary, second Chloe and third child is Bennett.

When I originally created the little boy Keiran him and his sister Eva lived together as young adults and Eva had a daughter. No father in the picture. Keiran married Hilary. Eva later married a Sim I made named Damon. In this playthrough she is dating Malcolm Landgraab. I am working on making him the father of her baby once they reach young adult and have him forced to breakup with her because of his mom. She is from a poor family. Malcolm won't know about the baby and live an angry life. Father is Jacob and mother is Rosalie.

Damon is Eva's future husband and very sweet guy. She is currently school friends with him. Father is Elliott and mother is Lauren.

Sofia the little girl in purple is Bennett's future first wife. In my orginal he cheats on her with her best friend Summer and had them both pregnant. Harmony the girl in blue was lesbian and an active. She adopted with one of the townies and married them. Mom is Erica she is family oriented and working as a doctor. Father Roberto is a criminal and currently cheating with Dina Caliente.

I plan on her getting pregnant. I haven't decided if it will stay secret affair or if I will break up the family. I am leaning towards secret family. Or having Erica cheat with Don who is currently dating Nina. Drama I love it. 😂

Summer married Bennett after she talked him into leaving her best friend and his family to commit to their child. Her brother Zack married Chloe Pierce he became a chef and later owned a restaurant. The Aguilar's are also Spellcasters. Father is Jonah and mother is Gemma.

The parents are new to my story and I am working to see where I want their story to go... The Pierce Boone Aguilar clan were pretty strong in my orginal story. So I am excited to see what I do with these families. 😂

Tuesday // 2.10 am

Malcolm: Well, well, well... If it isn’t Josephine Pritchett being the perfect daughter at a club at 2 am. My family will soon buy this property and turn it into something useful. What’s your excuse to be here at this time?

Jo: Go jump off a cliff, Landgraab.

In the midst of summer, Josephine turns 13! She ages up into a beautiful young lady, who is much influenced by her older sister, and wears her hair in matching braids. Josephine is a proper young girl, who is already looking forward to getting married and having children of her own.

That same night, Josephine snuck into Lucy's bedroom to hear about the encounter.

"Oh, it's so exciting, sister! You must tell me everything. Did you like him?" Josephine said giddily.

"Yes... He was perfectly fine, but we didn't really get to speak much. It was mostly father and Mr. Goth who did the talking."

"Well, I'm sure father will set up another meeting soon. Oh, I can't take it! A wedding! I shall wear my prettiest dress."

"But, what if I don't want to marry him? I would like to choose for myself. If father chooses for me, then it won't be true love." Lucy sighed. She wanted to tell her sister the truth, but she wasn't sure how she would take it.

"Well, why not? You don't even know him yet. You said so yourself. If you got to know him, you'd maybe fall in love with him. Love takes time... I think."

"That's not the point, Josie. I don't think I want to marry any man that father introduces me to. He just... He wants to sell us off like priced pigs to whoever has the most money. I don't want that." Lucy said.

"Lucy! That is not true! He is a good man. He wants us to live good lives. After all, no one wants to marry poor. We should consider ourselves lucky to have a father who cares who we marry." Josephine was shocked to hear her sister speaking ill of their father. She had never heard anything like it.

Ever since Lucy had become a teen, Josephine had been so bored. The girls used to be so close when they were younger, and now they barely spoke, except from when walking to school (and even then, Lucy would often bump into her friends on the way there!)

Josephine, who before had looked up to her sister, had started to resent her. If Lucy wasn't gonna be interested in her, why would Josephine be interested in Lucy?

Luckily, Josephine still had her brother to play with, but it still wasn't the same. After all he was a boy, and Josephine thought all boys were dirty...

It didn't take the family long to get accustomed to their new and opulent lifestyle. Even Lucy, who thought she would miss her humble upbringing, were enjoying some of the exclusivities of having money. The first thing she did was teach herself to use the piano. It came quite natural to her, as she was already a shark at playing the violin.

The move had even bought her and her sister closer together. The change of scenery had done wonders for the family, and they all seemed to enjoy the little things much more.

The 1890's started off in Brindleton Bay with founders Abraham and Nellie. They lived in a small yellow farmhouse, where Abraham would take care of the farm and work on his writing on the side.

Then they had their first baby, Lucy. They had struggled quite a bit with having children, so they were overjoyed when Lucy joined the family.

Once Lucy was a toddler, they had their second child, Josephine.

And then after a bit of time they had Cornelius, their third and final child.

When Lucy was a teen, she met Joseph, who her father had hired to help him assist the farm. Abraham eventually found out the two had become friends and forbade them from seeing each other.

They kept sneaking around, and eventually started going further.

Cornelius started going to school, and quickly became the victim of vicious bullying. Here he first met Blaire, who was the only person who would ever stand up for him, but he was too scared to talk to her.

The family then moved to a much bigger house, still located in Brindleton Bay. Everyone was happy, except for Lucy, because this would make it harder for her to see Joseph.

Lucy and Joseph kept sneaking around and was eventually caught by Josephine, who proceeded to tell Abraham and Nellie.

They then tried to force Lucy to marry another man. Lucy refused and chose to run away with Joseph instead.

Lucy and Joseph left to Henford-On-Bagley and cut off both of their families in the process.

Cornelius became a teen and finally built up the courage to talk to the girl from his childhood, Blaire. She rejected him and called him a coward.

Cornelius decided he didn't want to be a coward anymore and got in a fight with a boy for calling his sister a whore.

This made Blaire apologize and the two started being friends.

Josephine became engaged to a man named Raymond Carrigan.

Cornelius invited Blaire to the wedding and she accepted.

Josephine got married.

Cornelius and Blaire shared their first kiss at the wedding.

Josephine had her first child, a baby boy named Matthew.

And finally, Cornelius became a young adult and went off to go to university. He promised Blaire he'd marry her once he returns.

One evening, Abraham called Lucy down to the living room. He was accompanied by two strange men who Lucy had never seen before.

"Lucy! There's someone I'd like you to meet. This is my dear friend Mr. Fletcher Goth. He works for the Brindleton Bay Times. And this is his son, Hector Goth."

"Oh! Um, hello..." Lucy stammered quietly. She realized what was going on right away. Her father was trying to set her up! "Oh, wow Abraham. You surely didn't lie when you said your daughter was beautiful. Isn't that right, Hector?" The oldest man said. The younger man nodded. He looked like he found the ordeal just as awkward as Lucy did. To her surprise, he was sweet and polite, and as soon as they were introduced he seemed to know what he was doing. Lucy wondered if he was truly interested in her, or if he was just acting the part out of obligation.

She wondered how her father would react when she told him, that she couldn't possibly marry Hector. Then again, maybe she didn't even have a choice. She was still confused about her feelings for Joseph. She wasn't sure if she wanted to marry him, but if she had to marry anyone, she knew in her heart that it'd have to be Joseph. Behind the archway, Josephine had sneakily begun to listen in. She was so jealous that her older sister was being introduced to a man, and such a handsome one at that!
