…marriage, they say, halves one's rights and doubles one's duties.

So she doesn't call desertion, poverty, and hard work troubles? She's a brave little girl, and I shall be proud to know her.

Rule yourself. Love your neighbor. Do the duty that lies nearest you.

…in silence learned the sweet solace which affection administers to sorrow.
