After dinner, during tea and conversation, Mr. Sheldon mentioned to Charlotte Allison that there would be a banquet next month, and suggested she attend for fun.
Mrs. Sheldon interrupted with a laugh, explaining, "Charlotte, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. The banquet is a flower-viewing party hosted by the Moss Estate. Their daughters are numerous, each more gentle and graceful than the last. This flower-viewing party aims to gather young people together, whether for friendship or talking business, it's a good opportunity."
Mr. Sheldon was cut off, he snorted in displeasure and said, "To put it bluntly, it's because that old guy from the Moss Estate has protected his granddaughters like precious flowers these past years, afraid they'd be spoiled by pigs."
"As a result, he raised several excellent granddaughters who are all indifferent to relationships, leaving him suddenly panicked, fearing they won't have men they can rely on in the future, so he arranged this event."
