There was no money in the card from Sylvia Dalton, my future mother-in-law as a dowry for me.

During the engagement banquet, I discovered that Sylvia actually had plans to take advantage of me.

Even the card she had just given me had no money.

"So what if there is no money? Are you going to back out of the engagement?

"You're nothing but a filthy woman now. Who else would want you besides my son?"

What could have possibly happened to make my usually calm and composed mother this furious? I wondered.
