The Shuttle

CHAPTER V
47/53

"What I see is that these things are not business, and they ought to be.

If a man comes to a rich American girl and says, 'I and my title are for sale.

Will you buy us ?' If the girl is--is that kind of a girl and wants that kind of man, she can look them both over and say, 'Yes, I will buy you,' and it can be arranged.

He will not return the money if he is unsatisfactory, but she cannot complain that she has been deceived.

She can only complain of that when he pretends that he asks her to marry him because he wants her for his wife, because he would want her for his wife if she were as poor as himself.
