"I have no illusions about you at all. I know you're stupid, frivolous, empty-headed, but I love you. I know your intentions, your ideals, your snobby, vulgar, but I love you. I know you're second-rate , and yet I love you. I do my best to appreciate the things you are passionate about, to show you that I am not ignorant, vulgar, gossip, and utterly stupid. I know that wisdom will stun you, so everywhere Be cautious and act like a fool with any man you date. I know you are marrying me for your own sake. I love you so much that I don't care.

I am ecstatic whenever I think of the joy of you being with me, whenever I see joy in your eyes No end. I try my best to keep my love to a limit that doesn't bore you, or I know the consequences I can't bear. I keep an eye on your face, and if your boredom shows any signs, I'll change my ways. A husband's Right, in my opinion, is a kind of grace."
