“In a way it is necessary to marry. If marriage is bad, the alternative is worse. For a moment he wished that he were married; he pined for the difficulty of it, the reality, the pain. And marriage must be indissoluble, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, till death do you part. The old christian ideal, marriage tempered by adultery. Commit adultery if you must, but have the decency to call it adultery. None of that amercian soulmate slop. Have your fun and then sneak home, juice of the forbidden fruit dripping from your whiskers, and take the consequences. Better that, perhaps, than horrible freedom? You'd know, at least, that it was real life that you were living.”
