Did I want to .mar. ry Carlotta? No, certainly not. I didn't care for her, and I didn’t want to marry at all then. I was young and rich7 and had large prospects, and I had very soon learned the value of these things in the world. A marriage like this would be :1 flooring thing“ for all my after-life.

But Carlotta was in high spirits, and wc . drove down in the evening to Barrackâ€" honcymoon. The honeymoon didn’t lust . longâ€"only three days.

I cunlt say I did, for as soon as we were married her mannor and style secured to Chang/c, and I saw she was a horribly course, low~brcd vulâ€" gar woman, and that she had been acting :thc lady, just as if she were on the stage, all the time before. She could act like fun, she was amazingly clover. So i went away up the cmntry with my draft. and I thought; as 1 left Calcutta, ‘ l don"t care if J never came down country again] ‘ l neodn'tborc you with the march up.
