“Is that all?”
“It is enough.”
“Do you seriously intend to marry on that?”
“Why not?”
“Why, it won’t keep your wife in pocket handkerchiefs, let alone feeding and clothing her.”
“I hadn’t thought about it, but I’m sure we can get along on fifteen hundred—added to what I can earn.”
“What was her opinion?”
“I didn’t mention the subject.”
“You asked her to marry you without exhibiting your bank account. Shame!”
“We love each other.”
