Gilbert's mother, Mrs. Jaquet want to make sure that his son is married and has a son to inherit the business that her late husband built from the ground. So she searches for a suitable bride from a respectable family

One of her close friends comes to her, with a proposal. Her husband has two daughters of from his previous marrige, they are of age and well brought up. They were educated in the arts, have learned all the skills of being good wife and mother. And have been exposed to a few languages, that would be some use to their future husbands. Denise had met the girls at their engagment 'party and was delighted with Angela, the younger of the two daughters. So Denise and her friend set a meeting between the two.

Denise tells her son that they were invited to the Pleasant's home for dinner, she talks about how she was delighted with the young Angela, how she would make a good wife someday. Gilbert takes the hints, that his mother wants him to make effort to get to know Angela.

Angela's father pushes her to be friendly towards Gilbert, as Denise pushes Gilbert to be affectionate towards Angela. The parents stand a few feet away, giving their children some space and sometime to get to know each other . Gilbert noticeses her good looks, lovely porceline skin, emerald green eyes, firery red hair, he knew she would produce lovely children and that would delight her mother. So he made peace with the fact that he would marry her, to please her mother.

Angela was a very cultured young woman, as many girls from respectable families. But the truth was, he wasn't very interested in the arts, it actually bores him alot. Going to a tavern, drinking until he couldn't make reasonable decisions and sleeping around with women.

So, after the appropriate time of courting her, he asked Angela's father for her hand, to which he said yes and then asked her for her hand. To which she accepted, so then they celebrated at her father's house and dicussed a date for the wedding.

They decided on a spring wedding, seeing that it was early winter they would have enough time to get everything ready. So as they sat at the dinner, while the women were discussing wedding plans, Gilbert drank till he could make sense of their talk.
