Tales of Happy Valley
Chapter 19: Giles Moves In
Giles Consults With His Cousin Greg About His Plans
Giles had come to value Greg's instincts about such things, so he asked what Greg thought of his plan to build a life here in Happy Valley.
"That's wonderful!" said Greg. "You know, with the girls in college we have a lot of empty space here at Manse Orleans, so why don't you stay with us while you get to know the town and build your career?"
Giles was delighted with the offer and accepted with only minor reservations. The warm welcome he had received dispelled any doubts he might have had about imposing on his cousin's family, but in the back of his mind, he held some concern that living with an established family might interfere with his investigations that could lead to matrimony.
As it turned out, he need not have worried at all.
