eastofthemoonDay 29 - What ship had the best proposal
My favorite proposal would have to be with Kim and Mairelon from Mairelon the Magician series also know as Magic and Malice by Patricia C. Wrede
"Kim! Kim?"
"Mairelon?" she said hazily through a pounding headache. "Oh, good, it worked."
"Thank God!" he said, and kissed her.
Kissing Mairelon was much nicer than she had ever dared to imagine, despite the headache. After much too short a time, he pulled away. "Kim, I-"
"I see you have decided to take my advice after all Richard," Lady Wendall's amused voice said from somewhere above and behind him. "Marrying your ward is exactly the sort of usual scandal I had in mind; I wonder why it didn't occur to me before."
"However, it is quite unnecessary for him to add to the talk by kissing her in public," Mrs. Lowe put in. "If he must indulge in vulgar behavior, it would be far better done after the notice of his engagement has appeared in the Gazette. And in private."
Mairelon looked up, plainly startled, and Kim's heart sank. Then his face went stiff, and her heart sank even further. "It was a momentary aberration, Aunt," he in a colorless voice. "It won't happen again."
"I should like to think not," Mrs. Lowe said . "It is perhaps, too much to hope that once you are married you will settle down, but Kim appears to have had at least a than can be said for anyone else."
"You don't understand," Mairelon said dully. "Kim doesn't want to marry a toff."
Was that what was bothering him? "Well, of all the bacon-brained, sapskulled, squirish, buffle-headed nodmuster. I was talking about the Marquis, not about you!"
Mairelon's eyes kindled. "Then you would?"
"You've whiddled it," Kim informed him.
As he kissed her again, she heard Mrs. Lowe murmur, "Mind your language, Kim," and Shoreham say in an amused tone, "Yes, Your Grace, I believe that was an affirmative answer."
