Mariage gave a man new slants and different shape and aim. For him it had. It made him think, not of himself alone, not as a free and single self, but as custodian of trust. Imagine it, that Julie put her life, her whole damn life, in trust to him. No guarantee, no bound on his part. Just his word. Hi swilling word and , by God, no discount. Faith put a man on guard against the least infraction against unthinking speech and foolish act. Against betrayal, that was it. And none could know but him.
