Wife

.

If

I

'd

wanted

you

for

my

mistress

I

'd

have

taken

you

years

ago

,

and

I

could

have

.

I

know

how

your

mind

works

;

it

would

have

been

relatively

easy

.

The

only

reason

I

did

n't

was

because

I

wanted

you

for

my

wife

and

I

knew

you

were

n't

ready

to

accept

the

idea

of

a

husband

.

"

"

I

do

n't

know

that

I

am

now

,

"

she

said

,

digesting

it

.

He

got

to

his

feet

,

pulling

her

up

to

stand

against

him

.

"

Well

,

you

can

put

in

a

little

practice

by

getting

me

some

breakfast

.

If

this

was

my

house

I

'd

do

the

honors

,

but

in

your

kitchen

you

're

the

cook

.

I

do

n't

mind

getting

your

breakfast

this

morning

,

but

theoretically

to

commit

myself

until

the

day

I

die

?

"

She

shook

her

head

.

"

I

do

n't

think

that

's

my

cup

of

tea

,

Rain

.

"

It

was

the

same

Roman

emperor

's

face

,

and

imperially

unperturbed

by

threats

of

insurrection

.

"

Justine

,

this

is

not

something

to

play

with

,

nor

am

I

someone

to

play

with

.

There

's

plenty

of

time

.

You

have

every

reason

to

know

I

can

be

patient

.

But

get

it

out

of

your

head

entirely

that

this

can

be

settled

in

any

way

but

marriage

.

I

have

no

wish

to

be

known

as

anyone

less

important

to

you

than

a

husband

.

"

"

I

'm

not

giving

up

acting

!

"

she

said

aggressively

.

Kiste

,

did

I

ask

you

to

?

Grow

up

,

Justine

!

Anyone

would

think

I

was

condemning

you

to

a

life

sentence

over

a

sink

and

stove

!

We

're

not

exactly

on

the

breadline

,

you

know

.

You

can

have

as

many

servants

as

you

want

,

nannies

for

the

children

,

whatever

else

is

necessary

.

"

"

Erk

!

"

said

Justine

,

who

had

n't

thought

of

children

.

He

threw

back

his

head

and

laughed

.

"

Oh

,

Herzchen

,

this

is

what

's

known

as

the

morning

after

with

a

vengeance

!

I

'm

a

fool

to

bring

up

realities

so

soon

,

I

know

,

but

all

you

have

to

do

at

this

stage

is

think

about

them

.

Though

I

give

you

fair

warning

--

while

you

're

making

your

decision

,

remember

that

if

I

ca

n't

have

you

for

my

wife

,

I

do

n't

want

you

at

all

.
