Saturday Snippet: She Had Volunteered Far Too Much

The following snippet was taken from 

Two Sisters and the Christmas Groom 

Book 18, Sweethearts of Jubilee Springs

           Annie stepped away, her gaze darting back and forth between the two men. “Jubilee Springs is sounding like lower Manhattan, now isn’t it? I was hoping to get my sister away from the like.”

          Annoyed that Garland had possibly turned Annie Flanagan against Jubilee Springs—not to mention she might discourage her sister from considering him for a husband—Michael turned to Annie and shook his head. “No, it’s nothing like that. Jubilee Springs might have its rough times, but that’s true of any town. I was at that same dance. It was only the one man, this Herbert Price Mr. McAllister mentioned, who started hollering about no one else getting brides until all the miners got brides first. He’s not in line for one himself, but his brother, Nathan, is.” Michael, a grimace of disgust on his face, shook his head. “Herbert will use any excuse to cause trouble, especially when he’s been drinking. He’s no doubt behind the punchbowl having been spiked.” Michael turned and offered Annie what he hoped she accepted as an encouraging smile. “You change your mind about looking for a husband, Miss Flanagan, I’d advise you to remember this conversation.”

          “Certain it is I’ll not be needing a man for a husband who’d be liking his whiskey, now would I? There’s those at home who be liking it too much.” Realizing she had volunteered far too much negative information about her family, Annie clamped her lips shut.
