And occasionally, they dined out.
:01:10
But tell me, you were saying you were
actually advised by Maupassant?

:01:15
Unfortunately, I was advised
not to write.

Archer embraced his new marriage...
:01:23
...even as he reverted
to his old ideas about matrimony.

:01:28
It was less trouble
to conform with tradition.

:01:32

...the very roughness
he most wanted to keep.

:02:46
As for the madness with
