4. A man's vanity and selfishness are present (to a woman's perception)
in every movement. She likes them. They are the characteristics of
masculinity.
5. The man entered matrimony with all the trepidation born out of
thinking too much about it. It seemed to him like buying a
fifteen-thousand-dollar horse on instalments. This is just as it seems
to Mr. Bachelor, too. It was a pretty good price, but it was a
high-stepper, a flyer, a beauty. It would take him all his life to pay
for it, and it might founder the first year. But he had never in his
life wanted anything the way he wanted that woman. Mr. Bachelor has not
yet got to that stage.
