When Sutton Forged to the Front in Love and Letters
A fiction excerpt moves from a flirtatious office scene to a humorous romance as Sutton declares love to Ruth Decker after probing marriage prospects. He convinces her, and they plan a wedding as a friend muses on his own sudden resolve. An 18th century vignette about Burr’s secret late-night courtship with Mrs Prevost adds a historical counterpoint.
