"Why don't you get married first and then leave?" Marriage in their time wasn't as easy as saying vows for life and flowing like a river. Maureen was reminded of one of the songs David Kauffman had sung at church.

Decency, steadiness, and peace are the greatest happiness. Occasionally, when I see the long-handled grabber by the bed, I remember that afternoon I was stuck under the bed.
