“This is the woman I'm t' marry! Where have ye been all me life, me love?"And without a blink, I replied, "Don't start with me, ye scoundrel! If ye come with an empty purse, ye can leave now, fer I'd rather be unwed than unfed.”
“There's three things ye can do in any situation, girl,...Ye can decide to do a thing, ye can decide not to do a thing, ...or ye can decide not to decide.”
