I've seen marriage with other men and I've seen quite enough of it.

My sister's married; marriage has the making of women as a rule, it gives them place, power, they want that--so much the better for them.

With marriage, they get it.

My sister has often tried to persuade me to marry, drop my life, adopt the social entity, and worship the god of respectability.

I'd sooner put a rope round my neck and swing from the nearest lamp-post.
And so, you see, I'm no fit company for you.
