' “Lonce do Leon was foolish to set out on :an endless search for the Fountain of Youth. He could have found it in the heart of some comely yoking SpanisQx. girl. “Not to be happily married js to live without joy, blessing, kindness., religion or peace. “Marriage,is a great institution, but it should never be allowed to interfere with a man’s business. It won’t in my case. We’ll go away for a secret honeymoon. I’ve already changed our destination., so that even my two sons and their families won’t know where we are goin<T. The morning after I return home you will find me in my office at 7.45 a.m., where I have always been found for the last sixty years, and whore I will be until I die.”
