He is nice to her but probably sees her as a kid, and he speaks to her in third person just like Rachel does. So, it really puts things into perspective how unrealistic Angelina is to ever think she might have a chance with Vincent. Vincent canonically (because Yana-san says so) is already self conscious about the age gap between himself and Rachel – about 6 years. Besides, I think Angelina is about 15 when Rachel is 17/18.

Of course, his associates with young maiden relatives are going to try to get them married into the Phantomhive family, unless it would be too much of a peerage downgrade. He agrees to meet the ones that sound the most promising. I’ve said this… somewhere, quite some time ago… that Vincent probably makes it known he’s looking for a wife, and everyone in his network makes suggestions.

Well, let’s back up… slightly… about why Vincent and Rachel get married.
