I should have waited. to _make sure I had won her heart, but for her forlorn position I asked her to marry me, and she promised. though she told me she did not love me. Within a month of our marriage there was fric- tion. Lillah had imagined I was rich- er, and she rebelled against the econ- omical way in which we lived.
