When we were joking, I said he was old.

You know I did not mean that he was too old to get married.

Men a great deal older get married every day.' 'If you don't accept him he will never marry.

He is a man of that kind, -- so stiff and stubborn and old-fashioned that nothing will change him.
He will go on boodying over it, till he will become an old misanthrope.

If you would take him I would be quite contented.
