twelve o'clock
I 'll know better when I can study her more at leisure . Still matrimony is always a risk , where you do n't know what sort of breaking a critter has had when young . Women in a general way do n't look like the same critters when they are spliced , that they do before ; matrimony , like sugar and water , has a nateral affinity for and tendency to acidity . The clear , beautiful , bright sunshine of the wedding morning is too apt to cloud over at twelve o'clock , and the afternoon to be cold , raw , and uncomfortable , or else the heat generates storms that fairly make the house shake , and the happy pair tremble again . Everybody knows the real , solid grounds which can alone make married life perfect . I should only prose if I was to state them , but I have an idea as cheerfulness is a great ingredient , a good climate has a vast deal to do with it , for who can be chirp in a bad one ? Wedlock was first instituted in Paradise .
