"You must marry someone with lots of money."
"Who would have a man like me?"
"With a place like this? Dozens. You've only to advertise in The Times that you're open to offers and they'll come running. Good heavens, man, you're amiable, intelligent, understanding, sober, honest and kind to animals. I saw you talking yesterday to that cat that hangs around, and I could see you were saying all the right things. You'd be snapped up in no time.
(from The Girl in Blue, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
