‘try to keep her outside for a bit,’ says Matthew. ‘I’ll go and look for Charles.’
‘Matthew!’ says Charles brightly when he sees his best man. He is very unhappy. ‘good to see you! Tell me – what do you think about marriage?’
‘well –’ says Matthew, uncertain how to answer this. ‘I think that it’s really good , if you love the other person with all your heart.’

‘what are you thinking about? Can I ask?’
‘no, no – better not,’ says Charles.
