Even Jeremiah was dumbfounded.
Stephen started in a cold voice, "I've never thought about getting Mr. Charlie back to Eastcliff. I'm just telling you objectively that Mr. Charlie is no less inferior to his father, who was so influential in Eastcliff back in those days.

On the contrary, the men were jealous of Curtis to the point of hating him, including him as his brother. 6
If what Jeremiah had said was true regarding Sophie's mother loving Curtis, the marriage between Charlie and Sophie could actually set sail...
