Nothing was ever truer than the French proverb, "Between two lovers there is always one who kisses and one who holds the cheek." And if the girl is the one who holds the cheek she is fortunate indeed. NOTHING WAS EVER TRUER THAN THE FRENCH PROVERB BETWEEN TWO LOVERS THERE IS ALWAYS ONE WHO KISSES AND ONE WHO HOLDS THE CHEEK AND IF THE GIRL IS THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE CHEEK SHE IS FORTUNATE INDEED
I will say good-night, child. Your affectionate Godmother, E. G. V MARCH, 1913. I find I must continue the subject we discussed in the last letter for a little, Caroline, because, besides the question you have written to ask me to answer, there are still some remarks I want to make about marriage which may be for your enlightenment. You write: “How would it be if the man I were to fall in love with and marry were to be really fonder of me than I of him? Should I still have to use such a lot of intelligence to keep him?” Now, in reply to that, I want you to remember what I said about the hunting instinct in man. Well, obviously, if he cares more for you than you do for him, that instinct would still be in a state of excitement; so that you would have this very powerful factor upon your side to assist you in keeping your husband’s interest and affection. Marriages are generally much happier when this is the case, but it cannot be arranged--it is a question, one might almost say, of luck.
