Dreaming of You -
Francis Ray Courtesy: Sandra Calhoune
St. Merryn, has a reputation as a cold, unfeeling man. The reputation came about, in part, because when notified that his fiancée was eloping with another man, St. Merryn merely commented on the inclement weather the couple was facing and then spent the rest of the evening playing cards. He then made a jest that he would seek his next wife at an agency that specialized in paid companions.
