How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #1
"Well!" he said. "Well. How does it feel to be an old married lady?"
"Oh, it's too soon to ask me that," she said. "At least—I mean. Well, I mean, goodness, we've only been married about three hours, haven't we?" (11-12)
Their marriage is in a state of total uncertainty right now. It's unclear how it will work out—though the story might give some hints.
Quote #2
"All mixed up, and then thinking of all those people all over everywhere, and then being sort of 'way off here with you. It's so sort of different. It's sort of such a big thing. You can't blame a person for thinking, can you? Yes, don't let's ever, ever fight. We won't be like a whole lot of them. We won't fight or be nasty or anything. Will we?"
"You bet your life we won't." (43-44)
This is totally ironic given that the husband and wife have nothing but petty arguments less than three hours after getting married.
Quote #3
"Here I've sat and sat, and just listened to you saying how wonderful Louise is. I suppose that's nice, getting me all off here alone with you, and then raving about Louise right in front of my face. Why didn't you ask her to marry you? I'm sure she would have jumped at the chance. There aren't so many people asking her to marry them. It's too bad you didn't marry her. I'm sure you'd have been much happier." (55)
The wife feels vulnerable and insecure being stuck with her husband, alone, away from her family. She evidently feels at the mercy of his whims and attachments, and wants to make sure that he has her best interests at heart—which is why she's accusing him of having a thing for Louise.
