A man is a fool to bind himself to one who sooner or later must learn what little need there is to respect her husband.
Lord Dangars.
Why, my dear Mr. Murray, you’re actually putting men on a level with ladies. Ladies, I admit, are like nations—to be happy they should have no histories. But don’t you know that Marriage is the tomb of the Past, as far as a man is concerned?
Hugh Murray.
No, I don’t know it and I don’t believe it.
Lord Dangars.
Oh, really——
Hugh Murray.
You can’t lay the Past: it has an ugly habit of breaking its tomb.
