"Thanks!" put in Will, but Maga ignored the interruption. " not because you are cleverer than me or more beautiful. You are uglee! You can not dance, and as for fighting, I could keel you with one 'and! But because I like Kagig better after all!" At that Kagig suddenly dismissed all such trivialities as treachery and matrimony from his mind with one of his Napoleonic gestures.
It is appalling to those who have not yet adventured into the holy state, to see how soon the flame of romantic love burns out, or rather is quenched in matrimony; and how deplorably the passionate, poetic lover declines into the phlegmatic, prosaic husband.
I suppose he has come to an understanding with Tina? 'Why, said Sir Christopher, 'I did think of letting the thing be until old Crichley died; he can't hold out very long, poor fellow; and then Maynard might have entered into matrimony and the rectory both at once. But, after all, that really is no good reason for waiting. There is no need for them to leave the Manor when they are married.
Their tone was like, and yet quite unlike, that in which a long-married couple discuss their acquaintances; for, while their intellectual intimacy was perfect, their air expressed a constant mutual deference and solicitude of approbation not to be confounded with the terrible familiarity of matrimony; and at the same time they constituted a self-sufficient circle, apart from the society around them, as man and wife cannot.
People were never tired of saying: "Happy the man who wins her love! He could not find a better wife." Now M. Lantin enjoyed a snug little income of $700, and, thinking he could safely assume the responsibilities of matrimony, proposed to this model young girl and was accepted.
"We're both so poor, little girl, that's one thing. If I were free and could overcome my prejudice against matrimony, and could be a little surer of my own heart and its constancy, even then, don't you see, practical considerations would and ought to stand in our way. I couldn't support you, you couldn't possibly support me." "I see," said Nancy.
She had had seven years of sufficiently happy matrimony with Czerlaski, who had taken her to Paris and Germany, and introduced her there to many of his old friends with large titles and small fortunes.
The dignified composure of her manner charmed me; it was so unlike the paltry affectation of some of the fashionable ladies by whom I had been disgusted. I recollected the precedent to which she alluded. I recollected that the locking-up ended in matrimony; and as Lady Geraldine made some remarks upon the verses, I suppose my answers showed my absence of mind.
Mr Cophagus's attentions could not be misunderstood. He told her uncle that he had thought seriously of wedding cake white favours marriage family and so on; and to the young lady he had put his cane up to his nose and prescribed, "A dose of matrimony to be taken immediately."
"Perhaps he will marry again; he is always talking of the holy state of matrimony a holy state it may be but Heaven knows, his wife, poor woman, did not make it a pleasant one." "There may be more causes for that than we guess of," said the clergyman, mysteriously. "I would not be uncharitable, but " "But what?" "Oh, when he was young, our great man was not so correct, I fancy, as he is now."
