I suppose it was a dangerous experiment for a man of my age to marry a girl of nineteen.

Anne.

I think one can admit that. But you've always been one of the favourites of the gods. You've made a wonderful success of it.

Anne.

You have the great advantage that Violet is genuinely in love with you.

Arthur.

I suppose only a fatuous ass would confess that a beautiful girl was in love with him.
