Michael " "We didn't invite you to argue when we invited you to walk!" cried the lady, laughing. "We should like you to answer the question," said Mrs. Weguelin St. Michael. "And tell us," Mrs. Gregory continued, "if it's your opinion that a boy who has never been married is a better judge of matrimony's pitfalls than his father."
I've thought it all over, many a time. I've had reasons of my own, and I've seen plenty of reasons as I've gone about the world. And my conclusion is, that matrimony's come to be more of a discipline, nowadays, than anything else!" It was strange cheer; and it came at a strange moment; with the very birth of a new anxiety. But so our moments and their influences are mingled.
"Didn't I tell you I was a gentleman? You've made a big mistake, Ringfield. Matrimony's one of the Church's sacraments, Ringfield, isn't it? Perhaps not; I have forgotten. Anyway, Mme. Poussette is the wife of my best friend, my best friend I tell you, and whoever cares for her faded hair and finicking ways it isn't I. Sweeter pastures once were mine.
Let that sweet young couple come together, and be wholesome in spite of him, I say; and then give him time to come round, just like a woman; and round he'll come, and give 'em his blessin', and we shall know we've made him comfortable. He's angry because matrimony have come between him and his son, and he, woman-like, he's wantin' to treat what is as if it isn't. But matrimony's a holier than him.
He leaned forward and slapped Ford in friendly fashion upon the shoulder. "Buck up 'the worst is yet to come," he shouted, and laughed with an exaggeration of cheerfulness. "You can't ever tell when death or matrimony's goin' to get a man. By hokey, seems like there's no dodgin' either one." Ford lifted a bloodshot eye to the other.
I'm gambler enough to believe in my luck yet!" Mrs. Amherst sighed compassionately. "There is no right man! As Blanche says, matrimony's as uncomfortable as a ready-made shoe. How can one and the same institution fit every individual case? And why should we all have to go lame because marriage was once invented to suit an imaginary case?" Justine gave a slight shrug.
'She speaks in that way? 'I get it by bits. I'm with her so, it's as good as if I was inside her. She can't obey when it goes the wrong way of her heart to him. 'Love and wisdom won't pull together, and they part company for good at the church door, said Gower. 'This matrimony's a bad business. Madge hummed a moan of assent.

'Matrimony's not so bad as you think for, Miss Browning, said Mrs Goodenough, standing up for the holy estate into which she had twice entered. 'If I had ha' seen Nancy, I should ha' given her my mind very different. It's a great thing to be able to settle what you'll have for dinner, without never a one interfering with you.
