"I know nothing about her means."
"Don't make any mistake; she's a rich woman. Do you think you're too young to marry?"
"No."
"Do you fancy, perhaps, that she is still bound by that unfortunate engagement?"
"I trust she is not."
"I'm quite sure she is not. She is free, I tell you, as free as you.
Well, why don't you love her?"
