I used to give Alf a bit of advice sometimes, sixty being a dangerous age for a man, especially when he 'as been a widower for so long he 'as had time to forget wot being married's like; but I must do Alf the credit to say it wasn't wanted. He 'ad got a very old 'ead on his shoulders, and always picked the housekeeper 'imself to save the old man the trouble.

"You ought to marry, and then you'd have plenty to do! It's true that in that case you wouldn't be quite so available for deeds of mercy." "Do you find that as a married man you're so much occupied?" the young man mechanically asked. "Ah, you see, being married's in itself an occupation.

An' it's my 'pinion, in spite of wot some folks sez, gettin' married's most like makin' butter. Courtin's the cream, good an' thick an' juicy, an' you ken lay it on thick, an' you kind o' wonder how them buzzocky old cows got the savee to perduce sech a daisy liquid. But after the turnin'-point, which is marryin', it's diff'rent some. 'Tain't cream no longer.
You kin git married's soon's you want to." "You think so, Tracey?" "All you got to do's ask Josie " "I'm almost afraid you're right." "Why? Don't you want to git married?" "Well" Nat smiled "no. Don't believe I do. Not just now, at any rate." "Well, you don't have to if you don't want to.... G'd-night." "Yes, I do," Nat told Tracey's back. "The rules say so. If the girl asks me, I must."
I had nothin' to say about it when they hitched that name onto me. I reckon I hollered, but it didn't do no good. Me pals" and Sundown shrugged his shoulder "mostly gents travelin' for their health got to callin' me Sundown, which is more poetical. 'Course, when I got married " "Married!" exclaimed Corliss, grinning. "You needn't to grin, Billy. Gettin' married's mighty responsible-like."
