"Still, could not my fortune be settled upon herself as a life-rent, to descend intact to her heirs that is, her children?" "My dear lord, how you must have thought over every thing!"

O, I could curse circumstances, and the coarse tie of human laws, which keeps fast what common sense would loose, and which bars that happiness itself cannot give happiness which otherwise Love and Honour would warrant!
