"The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I"
Marcus Dods
If I had not met you, I should never, even in the midst of every domestic felicity, have been able to rid myself of the fear that some day or other you would appear, and turn my head as you did years ago.
"The Dead Lake and Other Tales"
Paul Heyse
Rome was not built in a day, neither can you expect to found your domestic felicity in so short a time.
