They Lead dissolute lives and then Are Brazen enough to expect to marry a girl who has respected virtue had will Power enough to resist temptation and sacrificed Good times in order to walk the straight and narrow path mapped out for her. My idea is if a Man expects those Virtues in the girl he marries he should have principle enough to Lead a life that will enable him to boast of them too.
