“Affection! Her father's thick mutton chops twitched in irritation. Good God child, are we back to that? Those fairy tale thoughts were amusing when you were twelve, now they are downright mortifying. Marriage is an institution-- Rather like one of those asylums for lunatics, she mumbled, unable to help herself.”
