Get married...? I...? And yet why not! Of course it wont…
““Get married...? I...? And yet why not! Of course it wont be easy sailing, but what of that? I'm young and strong, and content to labor hard and long. You'll build us soon, if not tomorrow, a simple nest for sweet repose. And I'll keep you free of sorrow, and in a year or two who knows! You may obtain a snug position, and it shall be my mission, to tend and rear your children, so we may live and forever be one. Till death us sever, and grandsons lay us both to rest.””
