You say you are not a boy, so I shall not treat you as such.

But indeed you must take my word for it when I tell you that I shall never marry again.
"I want to be quite honest with you, so you mustn't think that my two years of married life were by any means idyllic.

They were not.

The man I married was a failure, but I loved him, and because I loved him I followed him to the world's end.

We were engaged two years before we married.
