There! of course, I know you wouldn't let me say it to you in your presence; but it's true all the same.

Any girl should be proud to marry you.

There are plenty of rich girls in America; and if you play your cards properly you will make her and yourself happy.

The grammar of that is not quite right, but you understand me.

Find a nice girl--of course a _nice_ girl--with a fortune large enough to put you back in your proper sphere; and it doesn't matter about me.
