Byam Warner would not be the first man to settle down in matrimony. But can you stand living your life on Nevis." "I should have wished to live here had I never met Byam Warner." "Oh well you are not to be pitied. I shall paint you while you are at the Grange, all in white only in a smarter gown in this setting, and with those blue butterflies circling about your head.
