"I met Robert Crawley yesterday."
"How is he? I haven't seen him since the wedding."
"He didn't seem too unhappy. He had his wife with him. She seems to have a good head on her shoulders, besides being beautiful of course. Apparently they are visiting his sister."
"So, does he love her?"
"His sister? I think they are close."
"His wife, you fool. Because he certainly didn't love her when they got married."
"I am not sure. He looked rather besotted. We've known Robert since he was 13, I don't think I've ever seen him like that. He looks more like a little school boy now, than he did, when we first came to Eaton."
"He deserves to be happy. He is one of the very few honest men I have ever met."
"True. Let's hope that American proves worthy of him."
"I think chances are quite good. Both for that and for Robert actually being happily married."
