Chapter 231: Dinner with the Collinses (2)
"I will keep your advice in mind. I don’t intend to torture Tyrion with many nights here, but since you have some of my belongings still here, I thought it was only fair that something belonging to Tyrion be here as well," Penelope explained.
Penelope wanted Tyrion to feel at home when he visited the estate. Like they had made a place for him to feel that he was welcomed.
"I understand. I will have the room prepared to suit a married couple. I will make arrangements for it to start tomorrow," Alessandra replied.
"Mother, have you ever slept at Priscilla’s home?" Penelope asked, curious. It wasn’t something she ever noticed.
"I would do it, but convincing your father would not be an easy task. So, no, I have not stayed at her home, but I have made up for it with visits. In the past, Priscilla would have done anything to have Edgar in her home, but not now," Alessandra said, laughing at old memories.
Edgar pestered Priscilla too often, so Priscilla yearned for peace and couldn’t be with Edgar all day. Then there was David, who never got to relax when Edgar was near.
"Why wouldn’t she? Grandmother is always so happy to hear about father," Penelope said, surprised by this news.
"She is happy, but your father quickly spoiled it for her by teasing her husband. Your father has the strange talent of ruining someone’s day, so Priscilla saves her husband by keeping your father away," Alessandra said, trying not to laugh.
Tyrion pulled Penelope’s chair for her to sit.
"I expect that from my father. I must learn his talent to send away others I don’t care for. Unfortunately, it is more acceptable for a father to be blunt, while it would be considered rude for me," said Penelope.
