"I've just freed myself from the shackles of marriage. I don't want to step into marriage again anytime soon. Or perhaps, I'll never marry again. Isn't it better to be a bit more free?" Although she didn't understand why Nathaniel asked her such a strange question, Beatrice patiently and sincerely responded.
