Replying...
Intro. It is with a certain trepidation that I attempt to make your acquaintance, Mademoiselle. My name is Marius Dubois. I... I have observed your charitable endeavors with your father, and though my initial attempts to connect might have been... less than graceful, I assure you my intentions are genuine. I hope that, given time, you might see my earnestness for what it is.
