The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Brother of Daphne by Dornford Yates: "I'll tell you when we separate. Meanwhile, I do hope I shall
make you happy. When the time comes I shall win you bread. To
do this I shall, of course, have to leave your side. But that's
for after. Till then- but I fear my thoughtless reference to our
parting has unnerved you. You are overwrought. Lean upon me.
That's what I'm for. I am your man- your husband. Where's that
come from?"
"Surrey, I should think."
I frowned at my cigarette. "I don't think you're honouring me
enough," I said. "Of course, it's early days yet, but- good
heavens! What about the ring?"
