"Well, weren't you happy when you got married?"
"No, sir."
"Was Mrs. Ferris?"
"She appeared to take a certain girlish pleasure in the ceremony, sir, but it soon blew over."
"How do you account for that?"
"I could not say, sir."
"I'm sorry weddings depress you, Ferris. Surely when two people love each other and mean to go on loving each other . . . ."
"Marriage is not a process for prolonging the life of love, sir. It merely mummifies its corpse."
(from The Small Bachelor, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
