And she knows it too. Catch her marrying me! Take my advice, Governor—marry Eliza while she’s young and don’t know no better. If you don’t you’ll be sorry for it after. If you do she’ll be sorry for it after: but better her than you, because you’re a man, and she’s only a woman and don’t know how to be happy anyhow.”
