I wish to God that I could prevent this marriage." "Why?" "I say nothing against Mrs. Parflete. She's a high-class woman and so on. Awfully beautiful, too. As clever as they make 'em, and not a breath against her. All the same, I am not very sweet on love matches for men of Orange's calibre. They never answer never."
My wife likes to go to Mass, but always does so secretly, as if she were committing a crime." "We, too, cling to the good old faith." "Never mind faith," said the third.
