Keep on singing

Brandon Percival was a handsome, well-mannered young man as any Bostonian gentleman should be. He was climbing over the number thirty and feeling a bit old. He had been almost married at one time. However, his sweetheart moved away with her family, back to their home in Germany, leaving Brandon sad and broken. Nevertheless, he did not lack for female companionship. He had three sisters that were very dear to him. They nagged him constantly, kept him up on the latest gossip, and filled him with good food and laughter. He was especially fond of the youngest sister Sarah. Concerned for her health he feared for her recovery. Perhaps she would not live long and leave him too.
