"I have been thinking a long time, I have a little scheme," he said, "and I have been to Washington to see Watling, to talk over it. Well, he thinks much of you. Fowndes and Ripon are good lawyers, but they are not smart like you. See Paret, he says, and he can come down and talk to me. So I ask you to come here. That is why I say you are wise to get home. Honeymoons can wait eh?"
The boatmen of Ulysses faced the thunder and the sunshine alike with frolic welcome. We modern sailors have grown more sensitive. The sunshine scorches us, the rain chills us. We meet both with loud self-pity. Thinking these thoughts, I sought a second friend a man whose breezy common-sense has often helped me, and him likewise I questioned on this subject of honeymoons.
It was not a castle nor a great property, but it was quite perfect; and for a long while he felt like a bridegroom on a succession of honeymoons. He often laid his hand against the rough ivied walls in a lingering caress. After a time, he returned the hospitalities of his friends, and his invitations, given with the exclusiveness of his great distinction, were never refused.
She was accepting her honeymoon with her accustomed calm, although it was not causing her any of the thrills which Elsie Goldmore, her school friend, had assured her she should discover therein. Honeymoons! Heavens! But perhaps it was because Sir John was dull. He looked dull, she thought, as he stood there talking to the Ambassador. A fine figure of an Englishman but yes dull.
Camilla, then, had really died of typhoid fever on her honeymoon, and hence Ravengar had not murderously compassed her death. And people did die of typhoid fever, and people did die on their honeymoons. Either Ravengar's threats had been idle, or Fate had mercifully robbed him of the opportunity to execute them.
"Well," he said, "I was only joking. Don't take it seriously. But it doesn't do any harm to be polite." "I am always polite," she answered a little coldly. Honeymoons, after all, are matters of conjecture, and what proportion of them contain disenchantments will never be known.

"I have been asking myself," she said, smiling a little wryly, "another question. Is it not possible that this young lady and her husband had a quarrel? Such incidents do occur, even during honeymoons. If the two had a little quarrel he may have left her at our door just to punish her, Monsieur le Senateur. He would know she was safe in our respectable hotel.
"My dear Zaidie, it has been my fate to have many friends who have had honeymoons on earth, and some of their experience seems to be that the man who contradicts his wife during the first six weeks of matrimony simply makes an ass of himself. He offends her and makes himself unhappy, and it sometimes takes six months or more to get back to bearings."
You may see here a true image of all honeymoons; this is their history, this is the plain fact and not the cause that underlies it.
