Oh Lizzy do anything rather than marry without affection.

I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother.

Its probably not just by chance that Im alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me unless hes terribly strong. And if hes stronger than I Im the one who cant live with him. Im neither smart nor stupid but I dont think Im a run-of-the-mill person. Ive been in business without being a businesswoman Ive loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men Ive loved I think will remember me on earth or in heaven because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. Ive done my best in regard to people and to life without precepts but with a taste for justice.
