Marriage to Nick , why I hardly know him! Sometimes I wonder if Daisy jumps to new things too quickly. I like to observe a situation and make certain moves with great thought. I wouldn't want to do something and have it turn around and get me in the end. I hadn't put to much though into marriage in my life, I can't say I would enjoy being tied down to someone. No one is faithful from what I have seen , so why would I get myself into something like that ? I wouldn't that's why! If I were to marry I'd have a man to worry about, I wouldn't have enough mind to worry about a man and myself and what I'm going to need to do to stay ahead. I've only got my aunt and myself. I've had to look after myself most my life. I didn't get to have someone look after me and tend to my needs, I did it all myself. And maybe that's why I attach myself to Daisy and Tom , maybe that's why I cannot be at a disadvantage, why I cheat to get where I need to be, I lie. But whats what I've always needed to do! So no, I don't need a husband to further complicate my life.

Why is it that a woman's only option for a good life is to marry a rich man?
