A man must be a fool who looks for pleasure in marrying a woman who has no love for him.

And I say now, in the face of it all, marry me, Pauline, if you can bring yourself to do it.

I am the only approach to a friend that you have in the world.

As your husband, I can care for you and protect you.

You are young, your character is unformed, you are ignorant of the world.
