There is no time to dwell on this thought for it is just something that goes on happening anyway and has no bearing upon the advisability of "wedlock in time" between _people of horse sense_.

We should at least have a ticket before embarking--and it is the _real_ man's duty to provide the ticket.

Since it is to be a long voyage a "round trip" isn't necessary.
