Alan Morgan shut his mouth. Had he been talking a lot these past few days? No, that wasn't right. He was always talkative. Why hadn't he heard Maxwell Peary complain about him being too talkative before? Tsk, tsk, when something is out of the ordinary, there's always a reason. Nine times out of ten, it was because of the sister-in-law who had just gone upstairs.
"But Boss, you got married so quietly, didn't you?" This was Maxwell Peary they were talking about! He should have had a lavish, century-defining wedding, be showered with praise, and announce it to the whole world. Keeping things so hushed wasn't Maxwell's style at all.
