Mr. and Mrs. Donovan were completely stunned. Good grief. Just the other day, they were discussing whether their third son had also been handed some cannon fodder script. Now, this "heaven-sent fortune" had landed on their own heads—the two elders—and a double portion at that?
It was one thing to be cannon fodder, but to be taken out so carelessly... It was the kind of death that would leave you unable to rest in peace. It was just too infuriating!
Arabella Donovan was also quite exasperated by her family's status as a full cast of cannon fodder.
