"You know you didn't care a bit for me when you married me," she said, half bitter, half crying. "Didn't I? And you?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. "Oh! I don't remember!" she said hurriedly, and dropped her face on his coat again. "Well, we are going to care for each other," he said in a low voice, after a pause. "That's what matters now, isn't it?"
"Though, to be sure," continued the simple-hearted peasant, who was quite won over by the gracious condescension of so grand a personage, "I think the young gentleman did not come here intending at first to marry the lady, but only to leave her for a time under our poor roof; but when they saw what a place it was they were in a great taking, as you may suppose, and he went down to Father Hypolite to talk about it, as I told him that the good man was always ready to help anybody in distress; and sure enough he came back presently and said they were to be married at once.
At one time he thought he could live, and that he could marry a girl and not have sexual intercourse; because if he got married and had sexual love trouble would arise. He was convinced by what he saw of his friends and every one else he knew, his aunt, his mother and father, that they did not get along well.
Emmeline found him very like her father, and confided her impression to Mrs. Malt. "But of course," she added condoningly, "poppa was different when you married him." Perkeo was not so sentimental as the Trumpeter of Sakkingen, and the Trumpeter of Sakkingen was not so sentimental as the Heidelberg University student.
'T would be an awful thing to me, Deerslayer, did I find Judith married, after an absence of six months!" "Have you the gal's faith, to encourage you to hope otherwise?" "Not at all.
Art, and the distinction that comes of the choice of things that taste assimilates, was entirely wanting. A doctor of social science would have detected a lover in two or three specimens of costly trumpery, which could only have come there through that demi-god always absent, but always present if the lady is married.
I am, indeed, most unfortunate at not knowing it before, for then I should not have put my lord and father in a rage, nor been so long deprived of a husband, whom I cannot forbear loving with all my heart. Wake, then, wake, my dear love, proceeded she; for it does not sure become a man that is married, to sleep so soundly the first night of his nuptials.
"Not unless you are my wife without regret." "I cannot answer you. I remember saying that I should be a serious matter on your hands." "Yes, I saw that." "Then you were too quick to see! No true lover would have seen any such thing; you are too severe upon me, Clym I won't like your speaking so at all." "Well, I married you in spite of it, and don't regret doing so.
But when the doctor was gone, Cæsar said to Grannie, "Cut out the bridesmaids and the wedding-cakes and the fiddles and the foolery, and let the girl be married immadiently." "Dear heart alive, father, what's all the hurry?" said Grannie. "And Lord bless my soul, what's all the fuss?" said Cæsar.
And it is scarcely safer to leave the money to a daughter. For, if a young woman has a prospective inheritance so large that, when a young man calls upon her, she cannot tell whether he is calling upon her or her father, it is embarrassing especially so if she finds after marriage that he married the wrong member of the family.
