Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the
constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the
chain were broken and the prisoners were left free to choose, the
whole social fabric would fly asunder. You can't have the

If he is not, why pretend that he is?

To anyone tender of conscience, the ties formed by a free connection are stronger than the legal ones.
