Days later, as he was going back to his house one night,
Hammond passed by his brother’s house to find that he had
two visitors with the sound of laughter of Jarvis and his
guests coming out loudly.
Hammond heard one of the guests saying, “As I was
in the city, I saw a very beautiful woman, so I walked
straight to her and said, ‘Will you marry me?’”
Hammond stopped to listen as Jarvis and his guests
laughed.
The guest added, “She said, ‘get lost.’”
Then, the three men laughed even louder.
“What you did was very foolish,” Jarvis said. “Yet,

never said no as no woman will ever say no to Jarvis.”
The three men started laughing as loudly as they
could while Hammond became angrier for what he had just
heard and walked away.
