MARRIAGE
A Novel by Susan Ferrier
"Life consists not of a series of illustrious actions; the greater part of our time passes in compliance with necessities--in the performance of daily duties--in the removal of small inconveniences--in the procurement of petty pleasures; and we are well or ill at ease, as the main stream of life glides on smoothly, or is ruffled by small and frequent interruption." -JOHNSON.
