Flora Tiarks laughed, "So, you're saying my uncle depends on divine blessings for his meals?"
Grace White nodded, "That could be one way to understand it."
Flora Tiarks narrowed her eyes, "Mom, what will happen if he falls in love?"
"What do you mean by 'what will happen'?"
Flora Tiarks continued, "Even though my uncle talks high and mighty, saying he'd save all his money for his future wife, I don't think he's the type to spend on a girl. Girls need to be wooed. If he can't spend during the chase, no high-quality girl would give him a second look."
In accord with Mr. White's nature, he wouldn't spend a dime on something uncertain.
Unless that girl has bound her life tightly with Mr. White's.
After all, asking for money from Mr. White is even harder than asking for his life.
Grace White looked at Flora, and added, "Don't worry. Your uncle just hasn't met the right person yet! Once he does, money will be the last of his worries. He wouldn't even mind giving his life for her."
