Chapter 119 Dear Elizabeth

• Dear Elizabeth,
• I am pleased to announce that a wedding is now arranged between my eldest grandson, Alessandro, and Gina Terlizzi, a young woman who has my warmest approval. She is from a good Italian family, a widow with a child, who is the dearest little boy you could imagine. His name is Marco and Alessandro is soon to adopt him legally so I am almost a very delighted great-grandmother already.
• You must be wondering how this has all come about since Alessandro was planning to marry that other woman when you were here with us. Following your very good advice, I proceeded to engineer a meeting between Gina and Alessandro, and a most fortuitous meeting it turned out to be.
