wife as she did her wedding-gown, not for a fine glossy
surface, but such qualities as would wear well.

Such a wife as
I want... must be young, handsome I lay most stress upon a
good shape, sensible a little learning will do, well-bread,
chaste, and tender. As to religion, a moderate stock will
satisfy me. She must believe in God and hate a saint.
