This is the Question [circled in pencil]
Marry:
Children –(if it Please God) - Constant companion, (& friend in old age) who will feel interested in one, - object to be beloved & played with. - –better than a dog anyhow. - Home, & someone to take care of house - Charms of music & female chit-chat. - These things good for one's health. - but terrible loss of time. –My God, it is intolerable to think of spending ones whole life, like a neuter bee, working, working, & nothing after all. - No, no won't do. - Imagine living all one's day solitarily in smoky dirty London House. - Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music perhaps - Compare this vision with the dingy reality of Grt. Marlbro' St.
Not Marry:
Freedom to go where one liked - choice of Society & little of it. - Conversation of clever men at clubs - Not forced to visit relatives, & to bend in every trifle. - to have the expense & anxiety of children - perhaps quarelling - Loss of time. - cannot read in the Evenings - fatness & idleness - Anxiety & responsibility - less money for books - if many children forced to gain one's bread. - (But then it is very bad for ones health to work too much)Perhaps my wife wont like London; then the sentence is banishment & degradation into indolent, idle fool.
