Well! I must say I should not wish you to renounce your misogamistic notions here. The Montolieus are not at all what _you_ should look for; and a child like Flora would be excessively ill suited to you.

Of course I am right! Adam was tranquil and unworried till fate sent him a wife, and he was typical of the destinies of his descendants.
