“But you’re my wife!”

“The one you want to marry is Shela, it’s never been me.”

He pinched her chin, “For now, at least, it’s you. You should care!”

Letitia just found him inexplicably absurd.

“If you want care, go find Shela. She’s delicate, coquettish, pampering you, always pleasing you isn’t she way better than me?”

“Yes,” Elgin answered, “Letitia, any woman is better than you! Any woman is more considerate!”
