VI “The Count of Iggelin”

But before I continue the story, I must tell you who, this man, Velvet’s match maker, was:
He was 44 years old when he proposed Velvet, though his face looked so much older! He was almost 6 feet tall, he wasn’t too thin or too fat, let’s say he was exactly how men should be in the matter of weight, and he was one of the aristocrats about whom the society knew, but whom, because they weren’t involved in scandals or did not take part at glamorous parties, were considered weird and were avoided.
He grew up in a rich family, his father being the owner of Paris’s most famous fashion “store”. But his fortune did not come from the store, since this one was closed right after his father died. To be honest, I don’t know what his fortune came from and I don’t think somebody does. It is true his father and his mother, without mentioning other dead relatives, left him a big fortune, but rumors said it wasn’t just that. Anyhow, far from being dangerous, because it is a “rule” of nature that people who hide things cannot be kind, he was more sort of…pathetic.
He spotted Velvet one night, at the circus, and since then, he decided he will make her his wife. Of course the few friends he had, two or three, told him a thousand times it wasn’t a good idea to marry a circus girl, but he would never listen to reasons. Some said he fell in love with her, others said he wanted a son and the majority believed he had seen something special in her, something that showed him she was going to be, the greatest countess he could find!! Personally, I think it was a little of everything, but it’s not my opinion which counts. So, as I was saying, he was so excited with the idea of a marriage with Velvet, that finally he decided to make the proposal. But he didn’t consider one thing: that women are most of times, unpredictable and malicious, and Velvet, she was even more dangerous, for what she wanted, was something she would have done anything for!
