My darling girl, Unfortunately this earth is not ... a fairy- land, but a struggle for life, perfectly natural and therefore extre...mely harsh.

If a marriage is going to work well, it must be on a solid footing, namely money, and of that commodity it is the girl with the sm...allest dowry who, to my knowledge, consumes the most, to infuriate her husband.
