"What do you mean?"
"You mean secretly have Little Lynn get in touch with Silas Thornton, while not giving up on Holly Wyatt over here?" Mr. Fletcher lowered his voice, his face a mask of calculation. "Whichever one works out, it'll be a good thing for us."
Mrs. Fletcher chuckled, looking at her husband with admiration. "A brilliant plan!"
Mr. Fletcher raised his chin proudly. "Of course! We have two daughters, after all!"
Mrs. Fletcher shot him a meaningful glance, her expression noncommittal. "I'll talk to Little Lynn. We absolutely cannot let Holly Wyatt know about this!"
"I know, I know!" Mr. Fletcher waved his hand dismissively. "First thing tomorrow, I'll go to the Shaw family to call off the engagement. It's a good thing Mrs. Shaw disagreed back then and absolutely refused to announce that Little Lynn was their family's fiancée. Now, calling it off will be easy, and it won't affect Little Lynn's chances of finding another good match in the slightest!"
