Excerpt from Whatsoever a Man Soweth

"Then you really don't intend to marry me, Wilfrid?"

"The honour of being your husband, Tibbie, I must respectfully decline," I said.

"But I'd make you a very quiet, sociable wife, you know. I can ride to hounds, cook, sew clothes for old people, and drive a motor. What higher qualifications do you want?"

"Well - love, for instance."

"Ah! That's what I'm afraid I don't possess, any more than you do," she laughed. " It isn't a family characteristic. With us, it's everyone for herself," and she beat a tattoo upon the window-pane with the tips of her slim, white fingers.

"I know," I said, smiling. " We are old friends enough to speak quite frankly, aren't we?"

"Of course. That's why I asked you your intentions' - as the mater calls them. But it seems that you haven't any."
