"Cornelius, son, you have got to stop touching it." Colbert scolded.

"I'm sorry!" Cornelius rattled absent mindedly, forcing his hands away from tugging at his clothes.

"Look, I know you're nervous. I still remember when I was getting married to your mother-"

Cornelius cut him off. "I'm not nervous, Father. I would've married Thumbelina sooner if Mother didn't insist on tradition."

"Oh?" Colbert was slightly amused. "Well then, I guess my speech was for nothing." He watched his son fidget for a few more seconds before some mischievous had him say, "Excited for the wedding night?"

"Dad!"

Colbert laughed.
