The Power of Madras.

A knock at the door?

He, the scion of a 200-acre estate near Cadgwith.

She, a passionate American who studied abroad (and never left).

“Hello.”

She was getting signatures on a petition to stop a gigantic fast food chain from “Mucking up the High Street.”

“Hello.”

He was clearly wrestling with his conscience, since he secretly loved their signature burger and fries.

“Ah, yes, yes, I will sign.”

Their courtship is swift. Their marriage the following fall is perfect, in Austin.

He’s never been. Enjoys the music. Such is the power of this madras plaid dress.
